Hello fellow guixers.

I've found that I cannot build httpd package because of download issues.

downloading from

sha256 hash mismatch for
/gnu/store/sil2xmw01qmyygdbhvrsvyvmaviha2dy-httpd-2.4.58.tar.bz2:
expected hash: 1id45r2ccgkbjm9i998997ch32lvicpyynyx8x6aa4420wmdf5ps
actual hash: 0mdqa9w1p6cmli6976v4wi0sw9r4p5prkj7lzfd1877wk11c9c73

On the other hand, Apache web site states clearly that it doesn't use
mirror system anymore:
"As of the third quarter of 2021, the ASF stopped using its download
mirror system. It is now using a global content distribution network
(CDN)."

So I've made a patch that disables Apache mirrors for httpd@2.4.58 and
httpd/pinned@2.4.52 packages.

This looks to duplicate #63068, which instead fixes the list of
mirrors for all packages. Though, as noted in that thread, the linked
documentation lists downloads.apache.org rather than dlcdn.apache.org

Previous patch was wrong. Here's better one.
httpd-2.4.58 is Ok. The problem is httpd-2.4.52 could not be downloaded
from Apache mirrors, only from Apache archive site.
