Create a static URL for the `fastlane` download URL about fixcode

[KrauseFx]

Agreed, that would be awesome. However is there a GitHub API to get the URL to the latest release?

[cbowns]

On https://github.com/neonichu/FixCode/releases , there's the magic URL https://github.com/neonichu/FixCode/releases/latest which evals to https://github.com/neonichu/FixCode/releases/tag/0.2.0 via a 302.

Probably would make sense to add that as a feature to fastlane's install_xcode_plugin action.

[KrauseFx]

Yes please! * inserts obligatory 👍 *

curling the latest release with the GitHub API:

% curl https://api.github.com/repos/neonichu/FixCode/releases/latest
