Fix download statistics

`just download-stats*` are failing with an HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout
on GitHub's servers.

We can work around this by reducing the requested number of releases
per page.

As part of this, we adopt a 3rd party package for querying the
GitHub API because I was too lazy to implement pagination manually.
Also, since pagination is enabled, the counts reported by these
commands are now accurate and don't implicitly truncate at the most
recent 10 releases.
