[oe] [meta-qt5][PATCH] Change default SRC_URI from github.com to code.qt.io

[Martin Jansa]

One disadvantage of this is that fetching from code.qt.io seems to be
significantly slower than from github.com.

One extreme case is just running in one of my old build dirs, where the
checkout from code.qt.io wasn't updated on premirror for quite long time
and now the do_fetch of qtbase is already running for 43 hours..

Most of the time it's removing various refs from gerrit reviews:
$ tail
work/x86_64-linux/qtbase-native/5.9.6+gitAUTOINC+9c50112304-r0/temp/log.do_fetch
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75483/6
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/1
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/2
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/3
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/4
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/5
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/75783/6
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/7583/1
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/76183/1
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> refs/changes/83/76183/2

and there is a lot of them:
$ grep -c deleted
work/x86_64-linux/qtbase-native/5.9.6+gitAUTOINC+9c50112304-r0/temp/log.do_fetch
81174

$ grep -c deleted.*refs/changes
work/x86_64-linux/qtbase-native/5.9.6+gitAUTOINC+9c50112304-r0/temp/log.do_fetch
63253

$ grep -c deleted.*refs/builds
work/x86_64-linux/qtbase-native/5.9.6+gitAUTOINC+9c50112304-r0/temp/log.do_fetch
17921

Yes it might be faster to delete the archive from premirror and do clone
from scratch, but other developers wouldn't know what to do with local
downloads directory.
