Since theia 1.23.0 ( https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/9820 ),
/file-upload is a simple HTTP endoint and no longer needs to be websocket.

Since 1.23.0 ( https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/10514 ),
Theia uses socket.io and it needs /socket.io to support websocket,
otherwise it falls back to HTTP polling, which is significantly slower.

This is longer needed since years, also the part looks broken.

Reintroduce a patch to fix build error:

Also add a note for minimal supported version, that will have to be
set in software

Commit ee733f9d (version up: zc.buildout 2.7.1+slapos017,
slapos.libnetworkcache 0.23, 2022-03-28) introduced a new way of
computing cache key used for shacache and downlaod URLs that were only
in cache but no longer available from their original location no longer
could be retrieved. This update the original download URLs to URLs that
are valid today.
