add a small precompile workload

[KristofferC]

Using

@time @eval Downloads.download("https://pkg.julialang.org/registries", tempname())

as a test (because that is the end function I am interested in) we get on master:

0.838721 seconds (489.98 k allocations: 34.457 MiB, 41.40% compilation time)

and with this PR:

0.484503 seconds (31.97 k allocations: 2.184 MiB, 4.42% compilation time)

Does an extra half a second on the first download really matter?

[KristofferC]

Yes. 0.5s * many things becomes many seconds. This is one small piece of a larger puzzle.
