Update code-server download to use new code-server v3 packaging

[nathanpotter]

Code server is no longer packaged as a static binary and is instead packaged as a tarball. We should update sshcode to download from the new release URL:
https://codesrv-ci.cdr.sh/releases/latest/linux-x86_64.tar.gz

We can then untar that to /usr/lib/code-server and symlink the executable to the correct location.

that would require sudo, which a user using sshcode may not have on the server they are connecting to, —Merith

Yeah that sounds good as well, we should just untar it wherever is reasonable

Would take too long, and affect user friendly ness, but would be easier in the long run

I seem to have a working solution here: gyzerok@9e0d094. Can't open a PR yet, since it is dependent on another PR from me, which is currently open. However I welcome any feedback.

I've used ~/.sshcode-server since it is similar to how VSCode store its' settings and its' server.
