The via DownloadURL method passes the whole option record to DownloadURL
and then writes res.result to the target itself. curlInterface is gaining a
target option of its own (gap-packages/curlInterface#62) and then returns no
result, so this errors with

Record Element: '<rec>.result' must have an assigned value

Guarding on result being bound works with either version, and with the newer
one the file is never held in memory as a whole.

Neither CI catches this: utils does not install curlInterface, and
curlInterface does not test utils. Worth merging before curlInterface#62.

Taking #103 into account:

Up to now, the curlInterface based method never wrote a file, therefore one need not care about removing corrupted files after failures. Once curlInterface writes files, do we have to remove such files here or can we assume that curlInterface has already dealt with them?

Last week I was a conference and went a bit overboard with allowing my AI to open PRs without me double checking everything. That was a mistake and I apologize if I wasted anyone's time by having them stare at slop. (The "reviewed by me" was inserted by the AI without consulting with me -- but I should have caught it. Argh).

Anyway: I've marked this PR as "draft" for now, please don't merge it -- I'll carefully review and edit it, and will mark it as "ready for review" once I am satisfied. Don't waste your time on it for now (that said, of course you are welcome to leave feedback, but don't feel obliged to).
