[QE-users] Enhance on the `install/install_utils' script.

[Hongyi Zhao]

Based on the gzip option of test compressed file integrity:

$ gzip --help | grep integrity
  -t, --test        test compressed file integrity

I tried to modify the `install/install_utils' script to the following:

define download_and_unpack
  @(if ! gzip -t ../archive/`echo "$(2)" | sed 's/.*\///;s/.*=//'` >
/dev/null 2>&1 ; then \
  rm -fr ../$(3); \
  wget -O ../archive/`echo "$(2)" | sed 's/.*\///;s/.*=//'` $(2) >
/dev/null 2>&1; \
  if test "`echo $$?`" -ne "0" ; then \
  curl -o ../archive/`echo "$(2)" | sed 's/.*\///;s/.*=//'` $(2) >
/dev/null 2>&1; \
  if test "`echo $$?`" -ne "0" ; then \
  echo "*** Unable to download $(4). Test whether curl or wget is
installed and working," ; \
  echo "*** if you have direct access to internet. If not, copy into
archive/ the file" ; \
  echo "*** located here $(2)" ; \
  exit 1 ; fi ; fi ; fi)
  (gzip -dc ../archive/`echo "$(2)" | sed 's/.*\///;s/.*=//'` | \
    (cd ../ ; tar -xvf - ) ) ; \
  if test "`echo $$?`" -ne "0" ; then \
  echo "*** Unable to download $(2)." ; \
  echo "*** Verify that the url is correct." ; \
  exit 1 ; \
  else \
  (cd ../ ; ln -sf $(1) $(3)) ; fi
endef
```

I want to ask for comments and improvement suggestions here first.
If there are no objections, I can consider submitting a PR on GitLab.

P.S. I also attached the revised version here.
