contrib/make_download: fix imports
not sure why this was not an issue before(?)
perhaps due to python version differences
```
$ ./contrib/make_download /home/user/wspace/electrum-web
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/wspace/electrum/./contrib/make_download", line 17, in <module>
version_spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location('version', 'electrum/version.py')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'util'
```
What changed, and why it matters
This is a trivial bug fix in a helper script used to build Electrum's download web page. The script was missing an import statement needed to access a Python utility module. Without the import, the script crashed immediately with an AttributeError. The change adds the missing import and has no security relevance.
No security action needed; treat as a normal build-script bug fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit adds import importlib.util to contrib/make_download. In some Python versions, importlib.util is not automatically available after import importlib, causing importlib.util.spec_from_file_location to raise AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'util'. The patch resolves the crash in this non-privileged build helper script.
