Bug Description

The /usr/sbin/gmt-coastline-download script tries to download high or full coastline data from a URL it generates on line 139-40:

  URL_HIGH="$SITE/GSHHS${VERSION}_high.tar.bz2"
  URL_FULL="$SITE/GSHHS${VERSION}_full.tar.bz2"

These URLs no longer work on most of the supported GMT mirrors, including the one chosen by default by the script. Of all the mirrors listed, only the washington.edu and u-tokai.ac.jp ones include the relevant files. The minimal change is probably to change the default to use one of these two mirrors. A proper fix should take into account the fact that since (I think) version GSHHS 2.2.0, the file name has not been capitalised and doesn't have a _high or _full suffix.
