d/ubports.source_location: update the URL to make it build

Qt moves the old releases to the archival URL (presumably to declutter the main download page). So we have to update the URL in this file so that we can rebuild this again everytime we upgrade QtWebEngine.

We didn't notice the rebuild requirement because our QWE 5.14 package this was built against earlier lose the private ABI protection, so it went unnoticed until I happen to be involved in Debian's bug on updating QWE regularly [1].

You should see my disappoinment when I noticed that we already vendor QtWebView for Focal.

Fixes: ubports/ubuntu-touch#2169 (closed)


Please make sure that before merging this, the new QWE version is built (not just merged). Otherwise, we will have to trigger another rebuild in order to have the correct ABI virtual package. In the future, just triggering a rebuild in Jenkins is enough.
