[Buildroot] [PATCH] pkg-download: fix fetching URLs with ? from PRIMARY/SECONDARY

Some packages download files (especially patches) with a ? in the
URL. The ? marks the query part of the URL. However, the downloaded
file still contains the ? but from then on it doesn't designate a
query part anymore. Therefore, when fetching from PRIMARY or
SECONDARY site over http, the server will report a 404 Not Found.

To fix, we need to replace the ? with %3F. Obviously, this should
be done only when fetching from PRIMARY or SECONDARY. For fetching
from the real upstream, the ? really does designate the query part.

Fixes #9371.

I tested with
make BR2_PRIMARY_SITE=http://localhost/dl BR2_PRIMARY_SITE_ONLY=y BR2_DL_DIR=/tmp/dl openssl
and also checked with a file:// primary site, with secondary site, and
openssl-source-check
