tool_metalink.c: Filtered resource URLs by type
In Metalink v3, the type attribute of url element indicates the type of the resource the URL points to. It can include URL to the meta data, such as BitTorrent metainfo file. In Curl, we are not interested in these meta data URLs. Instead, we are only interested in the HTTP and FTP URLs. This change filters out non-HTTP and FTP URLs. If we don't filter out them, it will be downloaded by curl and hash check will fail if hash is provided and next URL will be tried. This change will cut this useless network transfer.
