Luca Milanesio fff21acc04 Switch GitHub mirror URL to the most up-to-date
There are two mirrors in GitHub, one that is updated very frequently
(https://github.com/GerritCodeReview) and contains all the Gerrit repos
including plugins, and another that is updated rarely (https://github.com/gerrit-review)
and doesn't contain all plugins.

Switch the URL to the most up-to-date and complete repo on GitHub.

# Gerrit Code Review
[Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com) is a code review and project
management tool for Git based projects.
[![Build Status](https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/Gerrit-master/badge/icon)](https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/Gerrit-master/)
## Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display,
and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any
authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather
than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project
maintainer.
