Add UEFI Shell 24H1 ISO downloads

* It looks like Microsoft are actively filtering our script by detecting our first request with the
  spoofed user-agent, so work around that.
* Also switch to using 'curl' instead of 'Invoke-WebRequest'. May break PowerShell 7.0, but I'm only
  concerned about Rufus usage for now.
* Also add timeouts on web requests.
* Closes #88.
