[KiVar] Move download URLs to web hoster in the European Union

Mark Hämmerlingrequested to merge
markh-de/kicad-addons-metadata:kivar-eu-hosting into main

CI checks forced me to remove the kicad_version_max restrictions for older releases, because they did not match the entries in the actual packages' metadata (the packages do not have this entry).

The problem: Kivar releases up to 0.4.1 are not fully KiCad 9.0-compatible (SWIG interface issues). So I added these restrictions to the repo metadata when releasing 0.4.2 (no complaints from the CI back then).

Please consider relaxing the checks so that they only fail if the package and the repo metadata have contradicting data. If the package does not specify a kicad_version_max, then the test shall pass.

I think it should be possible to restrict the KiCad version range in the repo metadata. Because at the time of releasing a package you cannot know what incompatibilites may arise with newer KiCad versions. And re-releasing the old packages is not an option, because this will change the hashes.

If you really relax the CI rules, then please get back to me so that I can re-add the kicad_version_max specifications.

Thanks for your consideration.
