electrum: add patch for aiorpcx compatibility 

electrum is quite strict about the aiorpcx version is accepts.
With commit 97b53be7 ,
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.

    # So we have to manually copy the patched `/run_electrum`

    # over `/electrum/electrum` after the patching (see below).

    # XXX remove the copy command in `postPatch`

    # as soon as the patch itself is removed!
