Fix further CI issues

Occasionally, we can't get the latest version from GitHub, causing
intermittent CI errors. The culprit is this URL:
`api.github.com/repos/timescale/timescaledb/releases/latest`. I added better
reporting in the CI workflows so it is more obvious when this happens, and
I also added more retries and error handling to 'wget'.
