Summary0016082: Support alternative download URL in ExternalProject_Add
DescriptionWe use a script with a lot of ExternalProject_Add to generate our dependencies. But some project moves their files to different destination after some time. For example: openssl

It would be very helpful if ExternalProject_Add could support alternative download URLs as a list. So cmake could try the next URL if a connection error occurs.

ExternalProject_Add(dummy
    URL "${FIRST_URL}" "${SECOND_URL}" "${THIRD_URL}"
)
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationOpenSSL:

Current version:
ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/ [^]

If a new version arrives the old one will be moved to:
ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/old/ [^]
