[LU-792] lbuild-rhel5 should use redhat's SRPM repo

Description

Currently, lbuild-rhel5 tries to download kernel .src.rpm packages from mirror.centos.org, but CentOS has been slow at keeping up with upstream releases. Even when releases are published, there are often long delays between publication of binary RPMs and the corresponding .src.rpm. Given that we're already pulling from redhat's SRPM repo for EL6, we should do the same for EL5 to prevent failed builds for every new kernel (e.g. LU-674, LU-786, etc.)
