Title: Add alternative github download URL to PluginManager

The Github downloads are gone

https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads

so the PluginManager should be able to fetch zips from alternative location under https://raw.github.com

Plugin authors will have to commit their zip binaries to this different location:

https://raw.github.com///master/downloads/-.zip

which corresponds to a ${basename}/downloads folder in a Maven project.

Cheers,

Jörg
