Patch bundled installer for dead DigitalOcean mirror and hanging maxmind PPA

Real install test on Ubuntu 20.04 surfaced two stale external deps in the
bundled `install`: the DigitalOcean MariaDB 10.6 mirror no longer resolves
(DO retired their distro mirrors), and `add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa`
hangs forever on hosts that can't reach launchpad.net. patch_installer()
rewrites the MariaDB mirror to mirror.rackspace.com and drops the maxmind PPA
(libmaxminddb0/-dev, mmdb-bin ship in Ubuntu's own repos). Both patches are
gated on the pattern being present, so future fixed packages are untouched.

# Patch the bundled installer for stale external dependencies
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The 2025-era bundled `install` references two sources that are now broken on
# fresh boxes:
# 1. MariaDB 10.6 repo at ams2.mirrors.digitalocean.com — DigitalOcean retired
# their distro mirrors, so the host no longer resolves (DNS failure).
# 2. `add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa` — queries the launchpad.net API,
# which hangs indefinitely on networks that can't reach launchpad.net. The
# packages it provides (libmaxminddb0/-dev, mmdb-bin) ship in Ubuntu's own
# repos anyway, so the PPA is unnecessary.
# These patches are best-effort: each only fires if its pattern is present, so a
# future fixed package is left untouched.
