As mentioned in #2968 and #2764, main 7-Zip website is not availble across many regions of Russia so scoop itself is not much usable without it in the most cases.

This PR replaces download links with offical SourceForge 7-Zip mirror and fixes the issue without breaking changes for anyone, also this removes little "bus-factor" for the 7zip package itself being hosted at project website against worldwide CDN.

Please consider not to suggest VPN and/or third-party solutions, as of myself I think this PR can provide safe and opt-in experience for scoop end-users from Russia.

But what if some other places can not access SourceForge? Changing the manifest is not a good solution IMHO.

@h404bi Then around 45 current scoop packages will be not available for those people.
