contrib: Use 'command -v' in download_prerequisites

If wget is not installed, this script prints a message to standard error
which makes it looks like something is wrong:

./contrib/download_prerequisites: line 53: type: wget: not found

But if curl is installed then the script works fine. The command should
also redirect stderr with 2>&1 but it seems preferable to just replace
the use of 'type' with 'command -v' which is silent when the command is
not found.

Also add an explicit check for curl and print a more helpful error if
not found.

contrib/ChangeLog:

	* download_prerequisites: use 'command -v' to check for wget and
	curl.
