add option `--use-http` to kraken-build for downloading taxonomy and genomes from ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

This would help those poor souls whose network firewall does not allow FTP or rsync connections to outside server.

Basically it would change download_genomic_library.sh and download_taxonomy.sh to use the HTTP protocol for fetching files instead of FTP in the call to wget. It would also need changing in rsync_from_ncbi.pl
