Allow crate download by checksum

The `dl` key in `config.json` currently allows the following substitutions:
{crate}, {version}, {prefix}, {lowerprefix}.

This change adds a {sha256-checksum} placeholder for the crate's sha256 checksum.

Allowing download by checksum makes it easier for crate files to be placed
in a content addressable store.
