[Feature] Support FTP Protocol #220

A lot of mirrors for linux isos still service via ftp, so go-getter dies when it hits a mirror link that redirects to an ftp:// prefixed url...This then requires manual intervention or hardcoding a particular mirror depending on different factors.

Packer was using github.com/jlaffaye/ftp prior to the transition to this module.

See #7, #64 and #97.

Any updates on this? There have been 2 PRs, but no progress!

I'm happy to help work on getting this done if I get a go-ahead from a maintainer.

Like seriously.
