Pull the `.did` file from a remote URL

[ilbertt]

Add the functionality to pull the .did file from a remote URL, e.g.

icp-bindgen --did-file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinity/oisy-wallet/refs/heads/main/src/declarations/xtc_ledger/xtc_ledger.did --out-dir ./src/api/xtc_ledger

Here is a snippet on how you can do it manually w/ Vite, directly from a mainnet canister.

const canisterId = Principal.fromText("<canister_id>");
const a = await HttpAgent.create();
const p = [new Uint8Array(Buffer.from("canister")), canisterId.toUint8Array(), new Uint8Array(Buffer.from("metadata")), new Uint8Array(Buffer.from("candid:service"))];
const { certificate } = await a.readState(canisterId, { paths: [p] });
const cert = await Certificate.create({ certificate, rootKey: a.rootKey!, canisterId });
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode((cert.lookup_path(p) as LookupPathResultFound).value));
