Log Message:
syncduke: optional installer download of the shareware DUKE3D.GRP

SyncDuke ships no game data, so a fresh install has no GRP to run.  Add an
optional installer step that fetches the freely-redistributable shareware
Episode 1 GRP so the door is playable out of the box -- mirroring SyncDOOM's
getwads.js Freedoom fetch.

download.js downloads 3D Realms' original shareware install package and
extracts DUKE3D.GRP from it.  The GRP is two archive layers deep
(3dduke13.zip -> DN3DSW13.SHR self-extractor -> DUKE3D.GRP); Synchronet's
Archive (libarchive) reads both, and the result is byte-identical to the
canonical 11,035,779-byte "SHAREWARE 1.3D" GRP.  Idempotent (skips a GRP
already present), non-fatal if offline, and SpiderMonkey 1.8.5-compatible.
install-xtrn.ini runs it as a prompted, non-required [exec:download.js] step
after the config copy, so it can read the [grp] dir from syncduke.ini.

Named download.js (not getgrp/getmaps) so it can grow more options later
(map packs, the registered GRP) once the door can load them -- today it only
fetches the base game GRP.  .gitignore also gains *.grp so a dropped-in GRP
is never accidentally committed (it is proprietary game data, not ours to
redistribute from the repo even though the shareware package is).
