fix(nvvm): fix broken LLVM 7 download URL in build.rs

The tag name on GitHub was lowercase 'llvm-7.1.0', but the URL was hardcoded to use uppercase 'LLVM-7.1.0', which has no release assets.

Also added an explicit HTTP response code check to catch download failures early with a descriptive error message instead of failing later with an 'UnexpectedEof' during archive unpacking.
