Subject: Make download timer fire "randomly" one per hour

Not "randomly" per se (see FixedRandomDelay docs in systemd.timer(7) for
more info) but don't have every user of this application all hammer the
repo exactly on the hour, every hour.

See variants on the "Thundering Herd" problem for more info.
