Hello All!

Recently, Fedora 40 was released, which uses wget2 instead of the
"original" wget (aka wget1). wget2 is almost a drop-in replacement
for wget1, except it no longer supports FTP and WARC. While WARC was
unused in Buildroot, FTP is still used by a few packges, some of
which only available via FTP.

Switch to using curl for FTP downloads.

We could have switched to curl for http/s downlads too, but it is
possible that existing packages (esp. in br2-external trees) use
wget1 options, like we used to in the now-dropped amd-catalyst
package for example. So we decided to only convert FTP downloads
over to curl, and keep the rest unchanged, to minise the impact.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
