It should be possible to specify assets as remote URLs

In the Bundle.toml file, it should be possible to have assets specified as a url, and then cargo bundle should download them. Bonus: support for remote repositories

I think each remote resource entry will probably need multiple attributes: URL, file checksum, repo tag/commit, etc. So each of these entries will need to be a toml table, not just a simple string, so they probably can't be part of the resources attribute, which is just an array of strings.

One option would be to add a new top-level attribute called remote-resources or something, which can be an array of tables (or table of tables), and leave resources as a simple array of strings.

Another option would be to just have resources, but make it a table rather than an array, and have it be like the [dependencies] section of Cargo.toml -- each resource file/directory has a key, and the value can either be a string filepath, or a sub-table with url/checksum/etc. However, that would be a breaking change, and seems a little more annoying for the (common?) case where there are no remote resources.

Not sure what's best. Probably there are other options too.
