Change default SDP pull 'p4 clone' to curl of tarball.

This will make Helix Installer more robust in restrictive
network requirements that may allow outbound access on
port 443 (https) but not 1666 (as needed to execute a
'p4 clone' from the Public Depot.

It is also much faster than cloning as full history is not
needed.
25995Changed to use only https (no more http).
All curl commands use '-k' for robustness.

Changed default install method to tarfile using the
consistently named sdp.Unix.tgz file name. Eliminated
'-t' flag; cloning is now done only when '-b' is used.

Removed command attempting to change ownership of
/hxdepots/reset dir to 'perforce' before that user
exists. Better if that folder remains root-owned
in any case, as only root can run it.
