Bug Description

[Impact]
shim-signed uploads FTBFS for a couple hours after upload on arm64, as the arm64 builders are behind a proxy with caching, and the proxy caches the old version for the current/ url.

Switch the download-signed script to extract the current version from the apt cache and download from that instead of the unversioned symlink. This means it will 404 on first try, and then hopefully the 404 is not cached for hours.

[Test plan]
Check it downloads versioned script during build

[Where problems could occur]
I can imagine that if the version number of "shim" contains special characters, they might need URL escaping. At the moment, we don't have special characters, so it should just work.

shim-signed (1.40.5) focal; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release 15.4. LP: #1921134
  * Synchronize packaging with 1.48, summary
    - Update packaging to pull fb and mm from shim-signed package as in
      later releases, dropping the runtime dependency on shim.
    - Add download-signed script from linux-signed package
    - Include reworked Makefile from devel to better assert the integrity of
      the executables.
    - Dual-signed shim
    - Set XB-Important: yes and Protected: yes on shim-signed package
      so that it cannot be removed by accident (LP: #1898729)
  * Update to shim 15.4-0ubuntu5:
