Download assets from public repository's GitHub Release without GitHub API

[suzuki-shunsuke]

I have tested if downloading assets from public repository's GitHub Releases anonymously is rate limited.
As a result of test, it seems not to be limited.
So at first aqua tries to download assets without GitHub API.
And if it failed, aqua tries again with GitHub API.
It avoids the rate limit of GitHub API.

For unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows for up to 60 requests per hour.
Unauthenticated requests are associated with the originating IP address, and not the user making requests.

Each file included in a release must be under 2 GB. There is no limit on the total size of a release, nor bandwidth usage.
