Add a filegetter for CSV toolchains that fetches a file from a URL

If the CSV input file has a field that contains a URL to a PDF, image, etc., we should be able to write a FileGetter that fetches the specified file.

Probably should only apply (at first anyway) to CsvSingleFile toolchain.

Looking at this, the filegetter just gets the path to the file, not the contents of the file. That happens in writer via a copy() operation. This path is also validated by the inputValidator. OK, so this is not as straight forward as it seemed.
