Fixes an outdated Savannah URL in subprojects/freetype-2.6.1.wrap.

The previous URL returned a 502 error. Updated it to use the working
savannah.nongnu.org mirror.

Closes #31340.

The nongnu.org is now the official download source for feetype.

https://freetype.org/download.html

Note: savannah.gnu.org is reserved for GNU packages, savannah.nongnu.org seems to be for other FOSS packages.
