[Slackbuilds-users] GitHub (and PyPI) Download Helper

[Jeremy Hansen]

I added some functionality to my slackbuild generator script
<https://github.com/bassmadrigal/scripts/blob/master/sbgen.sh> last year to
make sure source links to github always link to the proper location so it
works with or without content disposition. I also added support for
pythonhosted and pypi links to get the non-hashed download link so I can
more easily use my version-bump script
<https://github.com/bassmadrigal/scripts/blob/master/version-bump.sh> to
update my packages (since the hash in the URL would change for every new
version of that program).

After thinking about doing this for some time and seeing a few recent
emails about github download problems, I finally decided to excise it from
my script and tweak it so it can be used standalone for people to check
their github and python links. It's built as a function, so you can add it
to your own script, add it to your environment, or just pass a URL to the
script.

Feel free to test it and let me know if you find any issues. I've been
using it for well over a year and it seems to be working fine.
