:bulb: add DOWNLOADER variable to slackpkg.conf/slackpkg.conf.5 #26

I've been having issues with wget and noticed that there is a supported slackpkg variable DOWNLOADER.

DOWNLOADER=curl can be used along with CURLFLAGS.

This was noted in 2010 in the ChangeLog. Was it removed for some reason?

As for WGETFLAGS --passive-ftp is default behavior. Perhaps adding a -w|--wait [seconds] option may alleviate some timeout issues between connections?

Just a thought.
