On my main machine, with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU with 32 threads, it failed
every time. On another machine, with an Intel I9 CPU with 16 threads, it
succeeded every time. It turns out that some tests can fail if the
machine has many threads, and adding '#:parallel-tests? #f' to the
'arguments' field fixes the issue.

I also changed the 'source' field of the libaec package to use
'git-fetch' instead of 'url-fetch', because archive files created
automatically by forges like gitlab can sometimes change in place and
have a different hash.

Patches pushed as d03b6fb0e3f0b81b35a9b35b89c213c144c59fe6 and
following. Thanks.
