Can't download release due to Github redirect the request

[taiansu]

From an unknown time, Github starts to redirect download request to AWS s3. And since using ansible unarchive module with remote_src won't follow the redirect URL, the task will actually download an HTML and report some tar error like this:

fatal: [test -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 1, "changed": false, "msg": "Failed to find handler for \"/private/var/folders/5m/1f26j_6d3jnbp4y30g8rhlgc0000gn/T/ansible_CxcU89/prometheus-2.2.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz\". Make sure the required command to extract the file is installed. Command \"/usr/bin/tar\" detected as tar type bsd. GNU tar required. Command \"/usr/bin/unzip\" could not handle archive."}

My two cents on this, and according to the discussion from ansible/ansible#19985 (comment), might be split the download and unarchive into two tasks. It will be even greater if we can extract download src as an overwritable variable.

Thanks for mentioning this. I just pushed possible fix for this issue in #102, could you check if it works for you?
