wcurl: Update to version 2026.08.30

[sitiom]

• Fix homepage order

• Point url to the wcurl script instead of the entire archive.

• Move depends to suggest & remove busybox dependency (Scoop automatically creates a shim to bash)

• Use conventional PR title: <manifest-name[@version]|chore>: <general summary of the pull request>

• I have read the Contributing Guide

#6117 (comment)
WSL's bash is very slow as I tried... So when I modify the manifest, I just keep sh and add busybox as depends.

To be honest, I share the same concern. Since Git no longer creates a bash shim (#7459), running bash will default to WSL's bash whenever WSL is enabled. Until this issue is resolved, I think it's best to keep the original manifest design. I'd suggest dropping these changes; otherwise, this PR will likely remain on hold.
