[PATCH 1/6] build-system: replace use of ssh with wget for checking the website

[david at tethera.net]

From: David Bremner <bremner at debian.org>

The idea is to see if the version we are already releasing exists on
the notmuch website. Using wget allows more people to run this target,
and also allows people with ssh access to run it without access to
their keys.
