Fixed issue with uncommon random failures cloning from The Workshop.

Some users reported encountering random failures in the cloning
operation from The Workshop.

The most common install method in practice is to pull the latest
SDP release from the mainline.  This does not require cloning, so
changing the default install method to tarball (see job HI-19) for
the most common scenario eliminates the random cloning issue
(believed to be some kind of random Workshop network issue). This
eliminates that issue and is also faster.

When pulling from the dev branch, cloning is required, to enable
getting the the very latest submitted code and even shelved files.
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.
