action: Support curl or wget, not just wget

[notpeter]

This should allow the GitHub action to support platforms that have curl or wget.

At Zed we use a similar approach for our install script and have had good results.

This adds support for MacOS runners, but it should also fix for Alpine runners that don't have GNU wget (they ship the busybox wget clone) but do have curl.

• Fixes: GH Action does not work with Alpine #769

P.S. I <3 typos. Someone even took typos-lsp and packaged it as a Zed Typos Extension

#771 and #772 were closed for finishing the conversation in #769 before moving on to implementation. Following suit here per our contributing guidelines

Already have an idea? It might be good to first create an issue to propose it so we can make sure we are aligned and lower the risk of having to re-work some of it and the discouragement that goes along with that.

It's your project, do as you wish.

@notpeter I meant "...in favor of finishing the conversation in...". Sorry I wasn't clear.

For me, use cases are important for development. In #769, people were basically saying "because" without clarifying why this is so important. I was looking for more information on that, rather than more solutions. If something is spinning in a circle without progress, there isn't much to be done. This wasn't in "spite" or to "threaten" but to communicate where this was at.

As for your PR, it is a matter of people not following guidelines. I ask that we discuss your motivation in the issue, before a PR is made. In your case, you are using Mac runners. I would want to better understand why that is important, the underlying motivation, and what the capabilities are of the platform (commands and what they support, how others can be installed, and the problems with that).
