Download macvendor database from ftl.pi-hole.net when downloading a new FTL binary. Users who want to update the database more frequently than on each FTL release can use the python script from the FTL repository to generate the database themselves. The macvendor database is an optional component so a failing download is no reason to interrupt the installer.
