#12621: Implement a get-url function in pkgman

----------------------------+------------------------------
 A great addition to pkgman would be to have a get-url function which would
 only display the url for a package, and not install said package.

 One use-case for this is in HaikuPorter, where we need to download pre-
 built packages but do not want them installed in /system/packages. By
 having the URL, we could then download the packages ourselves into a
 different directory of our choosing.
