[OH-Dev] [issue948] In diff/patch training missions, switch to "curl" rather than "wget"

[Asheesh Laroia]

New submission from Asheesh Laroia <asheesh at asheesh.org>:

On Windows, we recommend the "Git Bash" toolkit, which (if I understand 
correctly) does not include wget.

Therefore, when Windows users work through the tar training mission, we might be 
setting them up for disaster. To fix that, we should recommend "curl" instead, 
which most GNU/Linux users will have, and is standard on Mac OS, and comes with 
Git Bash.

This ticket tracks the of reviewing all the mission steps within 
https://openhatch.org/missions/diffpatch and finding the places where they 
recommend "wget" (look in the hints box, and check the "High" hint level 
especially!), converting them to use "curl -O" (dash capital o), and testing 
those command lines to make sure they work properly.

Once we do this, more Windows and Mac users will have an easy time learning via 
the tar training mission.
