PATCH 1/1 bzip2: change upstream site

The bzip.org website is down. Use the Buildroot backup download site. Change the website link to a gitlab repo that mirrors the content of the tarball.

Not sure this is the best upstream location. The LWN thread also has this comment https://lwn.net/Articles/762340/ which points to this webpage https://sourceware.org/bzip2 which has a canonical locations pointing to https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2/

So, I am not sure which is better: an out-dated (but soon to be revived) webpage, or a git tree made by a random guy on a random forge (there are also github trees as well, and no doubt we can also find more random git trees elesewhere).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

In my opinion, the best option at this point is to drop this link entirely. We can always put it back when "real" upstream reappears.

What do you think?
