Propagates the v6.2.5 release to main, as release_process.rst requires right after a tag:

  • the Maintained versions table in README.md
  • a CHANGELOG entry mirroring the release notes
  • the build-system pins: so3_/avz_ recipes renamed to 6.2.5 with their PV, and the PREFERRED_VERSION_so3 / PREFERRED_VERSION_avz entries in local.conf

It also carries the musl mirror fix (cherry-picked from the release branch) so main builds again: musl.libc.org currently serves its web page but stalls on the tarball (a 256 KB range times out at 60 s; the MacPorts mirror delivers it in 0.13 s), which is what turned every CI build red today. musl-cross-make verifies each download against hashes/<file>.sha1, and the mirrored tarball matches.

Propagate the v6.2.5 release to main, as release_process.rst requires right
after a tag (these drift silently otherwise):

  - the Maintained versions table in README.md
  - a CHANGELOG entry mirroring the GitHub Release notes
  - the build-system pins: so3_/avz_ recipes renamed, their PV, and the
    PREFERRED_VERSION_so3 / PREFERRED_VERSION_avz entries in local.conf
musl.libc.org is a single host with no mirror rotation. When it goes down
- timeouts, then 'Unable to establish SSL connection', observed today on
both CI platforms and from outside CI - musl-cross-make cannot fetch
musl-1.2.5.tar.gz and the toolchain build dies after two minutes, on every
branch, with no way to retry around it.

Point MUSL_SITE at the MacPorts distfiles mirror, which carries the exact
upstream tarball; the sha1 check musl-cross-make runs on every download is
what keeps this honest (the mirrored tarball matches
hashes/musl-1.2.5.tar.gz.sha1). Same treatment GNU_SITE already received
for the same class of failure.

(cherry picked from commit 1061a2d)
