package/libedit: switch to alternate URL for proper packaging
Upstream libedit does not have a proper homepage, and does not provide
any sort of packaging whatsoever. So far, we used Debian's wayback
machine to get a tarball of a rather oldish libedit.
As Thomas pointed out, someone has been maintaining a proper autotools
based, up-to-date package for a while.
While Debian is stuck to 2.11 (5 years old now), we bump to 3.1 as a bonus.
Remove our libedit.pc, it's now bundled with the package.
