Backport the recent security fix to 3.x

See original GitHub issue

We are using version 3.x of simple-get in canvas and cannot upgrade to 4.x without making it a breaking change since we still support Node.js 6.x.

@feross would it be possible to have the patch back ported to the 3.x release line?

I can submit a PR if you create a 3.x branch from abdcdb32d0bb7707110a1ab39df99488330df1ee.

Thanks!

That would be great because simple-get ^3.0.3 is a transitive dependency of other packages, like prebuild-install v5 and v6.

@LinusU I gave you access to this package on GitHub and npm to help handle these security fixes. Appreciate it!
