Now that the issue was worked around in the previous commit, commit 577ccb0 can be reverted.
wget is deprecated in favor of wget2 development. However, using that as a drop-in replacement for wget1 is a breaking change. So just switch to curl, which is more stable and more than sufficient in this context here.

While
core20is still technically supported, it requires workarounds such as #284 to work around bugs like canonical/snapcraft#5316.Also, the kde-neon extension is only offered in an older version. kde-neon-6 isn't offered at all. Ref: #292
So just use
core22.My understanding is that even
core24can be used, without any visible or breaking change to end-users, but this is left for a follow-up for now.(Edit: The curl change isn't needed here, but should make future core updates easier)
