    make: centralize wget/curl & unzip/7z feature test · a70ee0f0
    René Kijewski authored
    With many open PRs that could benefit from loading SDKs when needed,
    instead adding vast amounts of code to RIOTs master, this PR provides
    the "functions" `$(DOWNLOAD_TO_STDOUT)`, `$(DOWNLOAD_TO_FILE)`, and
    `$(UNZIP_HERE)`.
    
    The first "function" takes one argument, the URL from where to download
    the content. It is then piped to stdout. To be used e.g. with `tar xz`.
    
    The second "function" taken two arguments, the destination file name,
    and the source URL. If the previous invocation was interrupted, then the
    download gets continued, if possible.
    
    The last "function" takes one argument, the source ZIP file. The file
    gets extracted into the cwd, so best use this "function" with
    `cd $(SOME_WHERE) &&`.
    
    The clumsy name `$(UNZIP_HERE)` is taken because the program "unzip"
    takes the environment variable `UNZIP` as the source file, even if
    another file name was given on the command line. The rationale for that
    is that the hackers of "unzip" hate their users. Also they sacrifice
    hamsters to Satan.
