This patch mirrors a similar change in nixpkgs [1][2].
The official method for downloading from SourceForge is to use
downloads.sourceforge.net, which redirects to various other mirrors. It
can be unreliable, but also faster because it can find a nearby mirror
and load-balance. If it fails Guix will still fall back to known good
mirrors.

Subject: [PATCH] download: Add official SourceForge mirror.
The official method for downloading from SourceForge is to use
downloads.sourceforge.net, which redirects to various other mirrors. It
can be unreliable, but also faster because it can find a nearby mirror
and load-balance. If it fails Guix will still fall back to known good
mirrors.
* guix/download.scm (mirrors)[sourceforge]: Add official SourceForge mirror.
