This PR seeks to improve access worldwide to YOLOv5 weights. Universal access to AI for all is our core value at Ultralytics, and we are against any efforts to censor or restrict the free exchange of information.

I've uploaded the official YOLOv5 v6.1 weights to a primary backup bucket on GCP and to secondary backup on Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EFQTEUeXWSFww0luse2jB9M1QNZQGwNl.

Autodownload with try the first two locations (GitHub release assets and GCP bucket), and point users to the Google Drive folder if the first two fail.
