Refactored github support to be more generic. Dropped the specific GitHub API call to fetch a commit hash associated with a branch to prevent dealing with rejections (too many requests).
Instead, I directly hashed the given directUrl from npa. We loose auto commit-tracking (must rm -rf and reinstall since hash won't change while content might) but we get an easier broader support (bitbucket and basically any host that provides tarballs).
