Support GitHub release assets

This would be useful for links like https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/releases/download/2.1.1/harfbuzz-2.1.1-win32.zip

Why? Something like this should not go over the service... this makes no sense...

I saw uGet has an ability to accelerate with mirror server, so if you made this implementation, it would be possible to make the assets download faster with the help of CDN.

One use case is to be able to direct link source files (.c, .cpp, .h, .hpp) that only exist as release assets. For example to be used in godbolt: https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/issues/1442 For now its possible to reupload the file to gist as a workaround as that is already supported, but that isnt so nice.
