Currently we include instructions on how to check the sha of a
downloaded tar-ball, but do not include instruction on how to
get the SHA256.txt file. This has led to confusion with people
thinking that the SHA256.txt is included in that tarball.

This commit includes instructions on how to use curl to download the
SHA256.txt prior to the instructions on how to verify the sha.

We may also want to include information about the armored version of the SHA (perhaps we should be suggesting that by default). We might also want to include copy stating that on osx you want to substitute sha256sum with shasum.

Based on review I will update the copy
