Downloading a GitHub current release

I had a need to download the current version of a package distributed via GitHub in one of my Ansible playbooks. I also wrote a PowerShell version for use in another script. I wanted to write down the code so I wouldn't forget it.

You have to specify the GitHub account and the repo name. The rest of this code will grab the latest release and download an asset based on a substring of the file name. This only works if the package is distributed via GitHub as a download asset in the release. If they have links in the release to the downloads, this won't capture that.
