  actsyncd, simpleftp: Add HTTP(S) support

actsyncd and simpleftp were only supporting the FTP and NNTP protocol
to synchronize from external sources.  As support for FTP will soon be
discontinued for the ftp.isc.org service, in favour of HTTP(S), update
these programs to make use of these protocols.

New path and protocol keywords in actsync.cfg, keeping ftppath for
backwards-compatibility.  New PATH_GETHTTP variable at configure time,
and $gethttp in innshellvars and INN::Config.  Updated samples of
actsync.cfg and actsync.ign.  Updated documentation.

Mention wget in the useful optional packages to install, at the
beginning of the configure output.
