Michael Altfield 47f82c10da adding github alt mirros to docs (#6679)
* adding github alt mirros to docs

This commit updates the documentations downloads page

 * https://simplex.chat/downloads/

I added a list of mirrors, which currently just includes the simplex self-hosted forgejo site (git.simplex.chat).

This is necessary, since GitHub has been throwing up authwalls on read-only pages, including the "releases" section -- preventing some users (especially high-risk users using hardened browsers, VPNs, and Tor) from being able to download SimpleX from GitHub.

For more info, see:
