Bug Description

The URLs of the BBC weather feeds seem to have changed, resulting in the dataengine to use no longer existing URLs.

[Impact]

This is a user-impacting regression that could result in weather feeds being non-functional for some users.

[Test Case]

Existing configured weather applets using a location from a BBC weather service should work again. Newly configured weather applets using a BBC weather service should also work.

[Regression Potential]

The regression happened in the first place due to the RSS feeds changing on the BBC site. If they change again, this will regress again.

Bionic will be addressed when Plasma 5.12.5 is SRUed. Other releases need explicit SRUs to them.

Backporting the patch will take a bit of effort + time (that I don't have right now).
