FredApps d97dcd6dcf apt: fall back to mirrors outside ubuntu.com when it is down (#199) ...

On 11 Nov 2026 no ubuntu.com name resolved on the runners for about
half an hour. The images' mirror list (azure.archive, archive and
security.ubuntu.com) sits entirely in that zone, so every retry spent
its five minutes on 20-second lookups of the same dead names and the
SonarCloud archive builds failed with "downloading the packages failed
3 times".

configure-apt-mirrors points the image's Ubuntu sources at
/etc/apt/craft-apt-mirrors.txt: the image's mirrors in the image's
order, then mirrors.edge.kernel.org and mirrors.dotsrc.org (arm:
mirrors.dotsrc.org and ftp.tu-chemnitz.de). Each mirror is checked
first, in parallel; those that do not serve this release's InRelease
move to the end. install-apt-packages runs it before every network
attempt, and the plain apt-get steps (Flatpak, release, packaging lint,
RPM signing, Linux deps, FreeBSD test) run it before apt-get update.
Block-mode Harden-Runner lists allow the new hosts.
