[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/jq: bump to git version a97638713ad3 (still 1.6-based)

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de_schampheleire at nokia.com>

jq 1.6 has a severe performance regression compared to 1.5. The problem is
reported [1] and fixed [2] upstream, but there are different commits and
later subsequent fixes on top of them that make it cumbersome to patch
specifically.

Instead, bump to a recent git version.

Note: when I wrote the patch initially, I chose latest master.
Now when I'm preparing it for upstreaming, there are a few more commits on
master. I'm _not_ including them now as we did not test with it.
