GitHub's autogenerated tarballs have had URLs like the following for as
long as I can remember:

https://github.com/tklauser/libtar/archive/v1.2.20.tar.gz

Notice how the filename is ${GH_TAGNAME}, and doesn't include the name
of the project.

The trouble is the ports infrastructure fetches ${GH_TAGNAME}/${DISTNAME}.
This happened to work but was undocumented.

https://github.com/tklauser/libtar/archive/v1.2.20/libtar-1.2.20.tar.gz

It looks like we'll have to rename it afterward, or use some other trick
(like "${GH_TAGNAME}.tar.gz?/${DISTNAME}.tar.gz").
