scripts: in case of failed download, remove partial files

It happens from time to time that the server mis-behaves, and breaks the
connection right in the middle of nowhere, for no good reason, leaving us
with a partial file, on which the extract pass would choke.

Remove partial downloads, to fail early.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
