I cannot install docsets due to url.el's notorious "GnuTLS error -19" hell, so I add an optional variable helm-dash-use-curl-and-wget which let user can use curl & wget on system to replace url.el ˊ・ω・ˋ

Hello @kuanyui , thanks for your contribution. Otherwise, I think it isn't a good idea merge your PR. We're using url-retrieve methods and they are the standard way to do it in emacs. I wouldn't like to maintain and support extra code to fix an Emacs issue. Sorry

But I have to say the bug makes some people unable to download docsets at all. (I downloaded docsets manually before.).
