[Toybox] Microsoft github took down the xz repo.

FYI, Microsoft Github disabled the xz repository because it became
"controversial" (I.E. there was an exploit in the news).

I'm assuming if toybox ever has a significant bug, microsoft would respond by
deleting the toybox repository. There's a reason that I have
https://landley.net/toybox/git on my website, and my send.sh script pushes to
that _before_ pushing to microsoft github.
Luckily the xz guys don't seem to trust microsoft github either, because the
upstream of the xz-embedded repo with the public domain code I cloned is:
https://git.tukaani.org/xz-embedded.git
Which is still available.
