Update clmtrackr w/ git auto-update

[klausenbusk]

The auto-update glob is out-of-date, so let's switch to NPM and fix the
glob.

Refs #302

Hmm, the CI shouldn't fail if the file already exists.

Agreed

Thanks :)

The switch to NPM was done on purpose, as checking for newer versions should be faster (a few (one?) http call vs git clone). Don't we want that? :)

We discussed this internally -- unless we need to switch to make the package work, we'd much prefer to stay with the original source that the author chose for auto-updating. We don't have insight into why they chose Git over NPM, but there may be a reason. It also reduces the changes in the diff & reduces the risk of switching to an incorrect package, which has happened in a couple of the other PRs.

Fair enough :) Should we update the doc and state that NPM is preferred?

BTW: Do you use a tool to generate the glob url?

I don't think so, we're happy with either being used. Git cloning is a bit slower for sure, but that's not our biggest worry really. I'm happy for folks to add packages with either as a source.

Do you use a tool to generate the glob url?

I built https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/glob a while back for testing globs easily on cdnjs, and even added a feature to quickly pull in files from an NPM package to make the whole process that much faster.

The CI generates glob URLs that go to that tool as well.

Lgtm, thanks!
