bzip.org domain no more belongs to bzip project and should be changed to some thing else.

More importantly, it's not just the homepage, but SRC_URI.
Once the mirrors no longer carry it, the source can't even be retrieved.

Our main mirror will keep the file until the last official Gentoo ebuild referencing that file was deleted (even then we will keep it for additional ~30 days)).

There's also zero risk for Gentoo users: If the "new owner" of bzip2.org would add malicious files, a PM following PMS wouldn't even touch these files due to checksum mismatch.

Anyway, I'll update ebuild.

    app-arch/bzip2: update HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI
    
    Looks like bzip2 is moving back to its former project home at
    sourceware.org.
    
    In the meantime use Gentoo's own mirror.
    
    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/663280
    Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.44, Repoman-2.3.10
