scripts/functions: add aria2, a powerfull downloader

aria2 is a powerfull downloader that is capable of chunking and
parallel retrieval.

Due to li;itations in crosstool-NG retrieval facilities, it's not possible
to take fully advantage of aria2. It might happen that, in the future,
those limitations get lifted away, so we can take use features such as
parallel downloading from more than one server at the same time. For now,
it should still speed up downloads thanks to parallel downloading of chunks.

    11 (_bfd_link_section_stabs): Use bfd_hash_table_init rather than
    12 bfd_hash_table_init_n(...,251) so that the size of the hash table can be
    13 controlled by the user.
