 In #19928 the Content-MD5 header was added for downloads of WP releases.

 We had discussed performing MD5 verification, in the past, and now that we
 can do it without an extra HTTP request, it is somewhat more feasible.

 If we add the Content-MD5 header for themes and plugins, this should work
 for them as well.

 The patch will also give us access to the full HTTP API response array
 from download_url(), if specified.
