gpu-dawn: error if curl is not installed, less verbose errors

Some Linux distro's (e.g. Ubuntu) ship with wget but not curl by default. It's possible
to run into this if you don't use it a lot, e.g. in WSL under Windows - so produce an error
if `curl` is not installed.

Additionally, if the binary download fails, don't throw an entire stack trace to stdout.
