Fix release name for newer versions of neovim on Linux

[hmk114]

This is a fix similar to #194.

Thanks. Additionally the latest release 0.11 does not come with checksum files.
I have commented out the checksum check locally to make it work.

The latest release does come with a shasum.txt. We need to filter out the specific arch, then we have access to the shasum.

Thanks for your notice! I've added checksum handling logic in download script.

can we get this merged?

While it seems nice, the thought of this being merged...

For the time being, you can just modify your LazySpec to look like this if you would like to make use of the changes in the meantime. This worked like a charm for me:

return {
  {
    "hmk114/remote-nvim.nvim",
    version = "*", -- Pin to GitHub releases
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", -- For standard functions
      "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim", -- To build the plugin UI
      "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", -- For picking b/w different remote methods
    },
    config = true,
  },
}
