Subject: [PATCH] Force text files to be downloaded in UNIX line ending (LF)

In a default MinGW environment, FFmpeg is always downloaded with CRLF
(Windows) line ending. This causes a problem with autoconf and prevents
user from building FFmpeg successfully without applying a workaround.
Current suggested workaround is to set core.autocrlf to false in git
global config. This workaround is not ideal since it affects other git
project in the same machine.

This change eliminates the need for the workaround by ensuring that
the text files are downloaded in UNIX line ending regardless of the
core.autocrlf setting.
