Auto merge of #49246 - kennytm:download-gcc-stuff-from-https, r=alexcrichton

 Download the GCC artifacts from the HTTP server instead of FTP server.

Try to bring back the `dist-i686-linux` and `dist-x86_64-linux alt` builders which has mysteriously lost their cache 14 hours ago and stuck forever unable to download `mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2` since it keeps getting

```
==> PASV ... couldn't connect to 209.132.180.131 port 10058: Connection timed out
```
