Upstream mdadm project has moved its primary development to GitHub:
https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm
Updated download site accordingly. See:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/commit/README.md?id=3f90be087fa62c0c7ed76c2ac26752f0ac3a89e7

mdadm >= 4.5 removed fallback definitions for MD_DISK_FAILFAST
(commit f5889f9a1b8753a1472dfef9d025da2bae395239), relying on
kernel headers instead.This breaks builds with toolchains using older headers
(e.g. 4.9). So, enforce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_4_10.

Since mdadm 4.6, `mdadm --create` may prompt for bitmap configuration,
which breaks the runtime test.Fix the test by passing `--bitmap=none`
to keep it non-interactive.
