modified setup-headers to cdn urls, fixes bad header issue #40 #46

On some distros (Ubuntu Trusty and Debian Jessie) using apt-transport-https fails due to additional headers added by github. The solution is to serve the packages via a CDN. In this case I make use of http://rawgit.com

I've modified the repo sources to use cdn.rawgit.com, specifically the http:// version as I was getting certificate errors with the https:// version

So to explain this to those simpler souls, like me:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/crouton-packages.list

Then replace

raw.githubusercontent.com

with

cdn.rawgit.com

Thanks for the solution though. Hope my step-by-step explanation helps someone.
