1. Add an option to try downloading but use the cached file if that fails …

   By default, Winetricks fails when the cached version of a file is old
   and the newer file can't be downloaded. The user can get around that
   with the --force option, which uses whatever is in the cache whether or
   not its checksum is correct, but that requires the user to run
   `winetricks` a second time with --force and it also disables the check
   for whether the winetrick is already installed. The --cached-acceptable
   option provides a middle ground: If the checksum of the cached file does
   not match, it tries to download the correct file (like the default
   behavior), but if the download fails, it falls back to using the cached
   file (like --force but without the other effects). That behavior is
   ideal for when websites might be down but the user already has in their
   cache sufficiently recent versions of the files they need.
   
   --cached-acceptable may be used with or without --force: When combined
   with --force it leaves --force's other effects in place and affects only
   the download process.
