[PATCH] doc/gitk: update reference to the external project

From
Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

Gitk is now maintained by Johannes Sixt and the repository can be cloned from a new URL. b59358100c20 (Update the official repo of gitk, 2024-12-24) could have updated this instance in the manual, too, but the opportunity was missed. Update it now.
