We're running asdf at scale. This can lead to throttling on the call to api.github.com to fetch release information—even with an API token.
We're looking to run asdf less often, but nonetheless, we've found that the call to api.github.com can actually be avoided in most cases. After all, it's only used to get the URL to the release binary, and that one uses a predictable format for recent versions.
As such, this patch eagerly tries to predict the download URL, and falls back to the API approach if that doesn't work. With most installs, this should be faster and cheaper.
