Currently flame graph generation requires a d3-flame-graph template to
be installed. Unfortunately this is hard to come by for things like
Debian [1]. If the template isn't installed then ask if it should be
downloaded from jsdelivr CDN. The downloaded HTML file is validated
against an md5sum. If the download fails, generate a minimal flame
graph with the javascript coming from links to jsdelivr CDN.

v3. Adds a warning message and quits before download in live mode.
v2. Change the warning to a prompt about downloading and add the
--allow-download command line flag. Add an md5sum check for the
downloaded HTML.

I've tested the new functionality on Fedora 37 and everything works.

On second thought, now the flame graph script will not only also work on Debian (and derivatives), but on all distributions without needing a new package for each distribution. That's a great improvement - thank you for the changes!
