Install of a package from URL

Issue

Sometimes packages easily avaliable only by url, for example binaries for Windows. It would be nice to be able to do something like:

poetry add pycurl --url https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/h2ufg7oq/pycurl-7.43.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

For example, pipenv supports it :)

Hi @germn

I opened a PR to implement this feature, maybe you could take a look at it? I am looking for feedback 😄

This is crucial for installing packages such as PyTorch: https://pytorch.org/ which are sometimes only distributed through a .whl file due to complicated dependencies like CUDA.

I would also really appreciate this. I often have to make custom wheels for packages I'm using, which I install via web (to avoid bloating my git repos with big ugly wheel deltas). Just switched to poetry for one of my projects and surprised that this wasn't possible.
