Description of changes:
I was working on updating third-party packages and got annoyed by needing to hack up the download URLs to find URLs where I could check for new releases.
This change adds a key to packages/*/Cargo.toml that lets us give a URL useful for checking for updates. A grep for releases-url should be all that's needed when updating packages.
For software on GitHub, it's the standard releases page; for others, it's the page I found best for accuracy and friendliness.
Testing done:
Checked all the URLs. Built packages to confirm buildsys doesn't care.
