The generated leapseconds file mentions the data can be retrieved from
ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list, but the domain no
longer resolves.
>From the Internet Archive for boulder.nist.gov it seems like it was a
redirect for nist.gov until it was later deleted.
The attached patch removes reference to it.

Subject: [PATCH] Don't mention boulder.nist.gov
* leapseconds.awk: Don't mention boulder.nist.gov in comments. Don't
mention NIST since the file cannot be found elsewhere from IERS.
