The installing-from-sources page for airflow-ctl had URLs pointing to a non-existent `downloads.apache.org/airflowctl/` path. The correct path is `downloads.apache.org/airflow/airflow-ctl/` (matching the base_url defined in conf.py) and `downloads.apache.org/airflow/KEYS` for the shared PGP key file. Also fixes the bash script using three inconsistent variable names for the download directory — unified to `ctl_download_dir` which is the variable actually defined in the script. Closes: apache#67025

Fix broken download URLs and variable names in airflow-ctl installing-from-sources docs
The
installing-from-sources.rstpage for airflow-ctl has two categories of bugs:Broken URLs (HTTP 404)
The KEYS link and one of the curl commands use
downloads.apache.org/airflowctl/...which doesn't exist. The correct base path is
downloads.apache.org/airflow/KEYS(shared across all Airflow distributions) and
downloads.apache.org/airflow/airflow-ctl/{version}/(matching the
base_urlalready defined inairflow-ctl/docs/conf.pyline 210).The second curl command was slightly different — it used
downloads.apache.org/airflow/${version}/but omitted the
airflow-ctl/subdirectory.Undefined shell variables
The bash verification script defines
ctl_download_dirbut then references twonon-existent variables (
airflow_download_dirandairflowctl_download_dir).Unified all references to
ctl_download_dir.closes: #67025
