GitLab | Links in FTP site pages are wrong. (#63)

I consider every file in a release as controlled. I never considered anyone would edit them. 

Yes you are right these links are wrong but there are many places around the net that will reference git . rtrems . org (written this way to not make another) we cannot erase. A release is a snapshot of RTEMS taken at the point of release and things will be wrong after a period of time. Consider https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/4.10/4.10.2/ and:

```
The list of PRs is in the file PRs-closed-4.10.2 and in
the RTEMS Wiki at:

http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/4.10_Release_Notes#Release_4.10.2_Changes

Some of the enhancements included between the 4.9 and 4.10 release series
are listed at:

http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/4.10_Release_Notes
```

and that is ignoring the references to RPMs (ahhh) in the next section.

The last 4.10, 4.11 and 5 releases now have a file that will not match the release repo's release branch sources used to create those release _and_ those branches will not be able to recreate those releases until I update them. As I said we should make new dot releases to solve this problem.

I appreciate what you are wanting to do but is this a deep deep well of problems. Maybe it is best to let sleeping dogs lie?
