[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Update external module dependencies

[Slava Knyazev]

Hi!

I hope this is the correct place to direct my message. I maintain a project that prebuilds a Debian flavored version of NGINX (pulled directly from salsa/master on a daily basis), adds the pagespeed module to it, builds, and publishes deb files for the public: https://github.com/knyzorg/nginx-pagespeed

Around a month ago, the process started failing with PCRE2-related errors coming from the substitutions module. The full log is too large to share, but here is where it ends: https://paste.rs/Z1c.bash

My knowledge of C is too rudimentary to properly identify the root cause.

I have fixed this, by updating the version of the substitutions module to the latest version from GitHub, and erasing the Debian nginx team's patches: https://github.com/knyzorg/nginx-pagespeed/blob/869c1e4c6b15bbd482490b3a7ed2afeee48bc9b3/.github/workflows/build.yml#L54

This leads me to my questions: Is there a reason why the Salsa version of https://github.com/yaoweibin/ngx_http_substitutions_filter_module has not seen an update for 4 years?

Cheers,
Slava
