Allow running jhalfs without wget

Description

If wget does not exist but curl does, we can use "curl -LO" instead of wget. Also if "Retrieve source files" is not selected we don't need to download a thing at all.

Two parts in this ticket:

  • do not require a download application if nothing is to be downloaded

This is perfectly legitimate and should be easy to implement.

  • use curl if wget is not available and curl is

Maybe more questionable since usually applications impose the tools they need, and we could say "wget is the tool required by jhalfs".

Also another question is: should we do that for both LFS and BLFS or just LFS? Let's say this is for only for LFS...

Seems not that hard, at least for LFS.
