package: fix WGET download method

In cf2486bf317e4bbf88c801fb96183ba62be78cc8, we changed from using the
-P option of wget (to set the output *directory*) to using the -O
option (to set the output *file*). Unfortunately, wget -O has a
strange behaviour: it creates an empty 0-byte file even if the
download fails (for example when there is no network connection).

The problem is that then Buildroot thinks the download was successful
and therefore goes on with extracting the tarball.

The following succession of events makes Buildroot think that the
download has been sucessful:

 * Buildroot calls the DOWNLOAD_WGET macro with the URL of the
   official site

   * It tests if the file exists in the download directory, it doesn't
     exist.

   * It calls wget. wget fails to download the file and returns an
     error code, but leaves an empty file with the correct name in the
     downloaded directory.

 * Since the previously download failed, Buildroot tries another
   download from the Buildroot mirror (sources.buildroot.net)

   * It tests if the file exists in the download directory... and it
     exists! So this second download returns with success, and
     Buildroot assumes the file has been downloaded properly.

This scenario brings us with the following result, where the download
fails, but Buildroot continues its execution and tries to extract the
tarball:

$ rm /opt/dl/glib-2.30.2.tar.bz2
rm: cannot remove `/opt/dl/glib-2.30.2.tar.bz2': No such file or directory
$ rm -rf build/host-libglib2-2.30.2/
$ make
make -C /home/thomas/projets/buildroot O=/opt/outputs/udisks/.

Therefore, this commit modifies DOWNLOAD_WGET so that it removes the
downloaded file if wget returns with an error.
