* gnu/packages/crypto.scm (libsecp256k1): Update comment patch link.

* gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-bin): Update arch-patch base URL.

Arch recently retired git.archlinux.org and now hosts SVN mirrors on
GitLab and GitHub. This caused builds of packages which downloaded
patches from git.archlinux.org to fail. This was mentioned on IRC a few
days ago and I encountered it myself when building texlive-bin without
substitutes. This commit points links to where the patches now live.
