Subject: [PATCH] http: correct root if definitely pointing to a file - fixes
 #8428

This was formalized in
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/c69eb84573c85206ab028eda2987180e049ef2e4
But it appears that we forgot to update `http`, and the `FsRoot` test didn't
catch it because we don't currently have an http integration test.
