Create sh script to support downloading via curl or wget

Can potentially grab the rustup script from https://sh.rustup.rs and modify to perform our download instead from Github-hosted files.

Windows implementation

For Windows, rustup uses a custom-made exe, but wondering if we can get by with a powershell script instead. Look into using Invoke-Webrequest or DownloadFile as discussed on superuser and superuser downloading files via powershell. Then we give a recommendation like iex (iwr -useb https://sh.distant.dev)?

Could also try solution discussed on stackoverflow:

powershell -nop -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock ([scriptblock]::Create([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadData('https://server.com/upload/script.ps1')))) -ArgumentList @('somearg','someotherarg')"

The above lets us specify arguments, but is longer. If there's a shorthand way to provide arguments to the iex, that may be easier to let others provide options like not prompting for a version, etc.

ChatGPT claims this will work if providing --help:

iex ((iwr -useb https://sh.distant.dev) + ' --help')

Scoop provides a good example for windows: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Install#readme

Configure a worker to respond to all https://sh.distant.dev/ requests

• Use ua-parser to extra operating system (via workers javascript modules)
• Leverage a worker conditional response to determine if the requesting platform is Windows or not, with anything non-Windows returning sh script
• Support optional query parameter
• Response using a fetch to appropriate script (may need to configure content-disposition header such as with returning JSON) to mark as attachment
