electrum: add patch for aiorpcx compatibility

electrum is quite strict about the aiorpcx version is accepts.
With commit 97b53be7078dc8938fcedfb244459bd82884145c ,
aiorpcx got updated to 0.23.1 which is too much for electrum.

Upstream already has a patch to extend the
range of aiorpcx versions it permits.
We apply that patch until a the next release of electrum.

Unfortunatelly, the patch -- which we take from the
GitHub source repository -- does not patch every file
that that is needed to be patched in the distribution tarball.
Hence we have to copy the patched file over another file
in the `postPatch` hook of the build process.
See the comments there for more information.
