Prior to August 2023, any config.guess generated by autoconf will
include a hardcoded /usr/bin/uname invocation for FreeBSD on any
architecture other than arm. This clearly doesn't work under nix.
We must then update or otherwise patch each old config.guess.
c-ares has moved to the new URL in 2021[^1], and now old link only
redirects to the new one. Moreover, old link is broken on IPv6-only
networks (old domain resolves to IPv6 address, but this address refuses
connections). This commit changes link to the current one.

This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces
Semi-automatic update. These checks were done:
- built on NixOS
- Warning: no binary found that responded to help or version flags. (This warning appears even if the package isn't expected to have binaries.)
- found 1.14.0 with grep in /nix/store/0azgccv236s0l92yfyxx7rbh8nci8g2z-c-ares-1.14.0
- found 1.14.0 in filename of file in /nix/store/0azgccv236s0l92yfyxx7rbh8nci8g2z-c-ares-1.14.0
