doc/gitk: update reference to the external project
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. Do give credit to Paul Mackerras as the inventor of the program. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
