download.pl: use curl in preference to wget


Because wget doesn't know how to do Negotiate authentication with a proxy
and curl does, use curl if it's present. The user is expected to have a
~/.curlrc that sets the options necessary for any proxy authentication.

A ~/.curlrc is completely optional however and curl will work in exactly
the same manner as wget without one.
