Access to K0s binaries via IPv6 only

[foexle]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hey guys,

i encountered an access issue in WAN IPv6 only networks to the available K0s binaries.
It seems Github doesn't support IPv6 at all (discussion thread here)

This could lead into problems with IoT devices that doesn't get a WAN IPv4 anymore. In addition to that, IPv4 becomes expensive overall to use and it's a legacy protocol.

Describe the solution you would like

So my suggest would be to provide a mirror endpoint with the binaries that can be accessed via IPv6

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are things like https://gh-v6.com/ which could help.

We need to test that if it works and then add proper docs for it. And maybe some way to utilize that via the get.k0s.sh script

gh-v6.com seems to work pretty nicely. E.g.

curl -6 https://gh-v6.com/k0sproject/k0s/releases/download/v1.31.2%2Bk0s.0/k0s-v1.31.2+k0s.0-amd64 -o k0s

Maybe we should add this to the docs 🤔

One caveat about using gh-v6.com: Since this is a machine in the middle, you have to trust this domain not to be up to no good. You may want to add additional hash sum/signature checks to make sure the files you download are authentic.
