Installation archive URL should be configurable

[sonnysideup]

The archive URL is hardcoded to the value "https://releases.hashicorp.com/consul/%{version}/%{basename}" inside the default_archive_url class method defined by both the binary and webui installation resources.

Doesn't it make sense to move the base URL and checksums into attribute values so that cookbook consumers can cache copies of these packages where they see fit (e.g. S3, on-prem NAS, etc...)?

I believe that this can be overridden by an inversion option. Not sure how it is being passed to the resource. Can anyone provide a sample of this?

default['consul']['options']['archive_url'] = 'https://hashicorp.mirror.corporate.com/consul/%{version}/%{basename}'
