[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/xerces: security bump to v3.2.5

See the release notes:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12352411&projectId=10510

Also update the download site to https

This fixes the following vulnerability:
- CVE-2024-23807:
    The Apache Xerces C++ XML parser on versions 3.0.0 before 3.2.5
    contains a use-after-free error triggered during the scanning of
    external DTDs.  Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.5
    which fixes the issue, or mitigate the issue by disabling DTD
    processing. This can be accomplished via the DOM using a standard
    parser feature, or via SAX using the XERCES_DISABLE_DTD environment
    variable.  This issue has been disclosed before as CVE-2018-1311, but
    unfortunately that advisory incorrectly stated the issue would be
    fixed in version 3.2.3 or 3.2.4.
