Motivation for this change

Gnum4 is build in the nixos installer test, which is done on a machine
without internet access. Using fetchurl for patches results in the
following error:

  machine # building '/nix/store/7x9q5qdd27aljvvrnrvabb6h6b0sh082-01-fix-ftbfs-with-glibc-2.28.patch.drv'...
  machine # warning: unable to download 'https://sources.debian.org/data/main/m/m4/1.4.18-2/debian/patches/01-fix-ftbfs-with-glibc-2.28.patch':

Add the patch to nixpkgs and update the comment on the patches parameter
to indicate that fetchurl and similar helpers will break the test.

Fixes #96361
