Summary

The PhotoTour dataset class's docstring linked to http://matthewalunbrown.com/patchdata/patchdata.html, which no longer hosts the dataset. The domain matthewalunbrown.com 301-redirects all patchdata/ paths to the site root, which currently serves unrelated commercial content.

This patch updates the Multi-view Stereo Correspondence link in the PhotoTour docstring to point at the original UW project page https://phototour.cs.washington.edu/patches/default.htm, which still serves and which the existing note in the same docstring already references as the original dataset page.

Scope is limited to the docstring link. The download URLs in the urls dict also appear to be broken (see #8722), but per the maintainer comment on that issue there is no known working replacement for the actual *_harris.zip archives, so those are intentionally left alone in this PR.

Fixes #8722

Test plan

  • curl -I https://phototour.cs.washington.edu/patches/default.htm returns HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  • One-line change, docstring only, no behavior change

The docstring of PhotoTour pointed at http://matthewalunbrown.com/patchdata/
which now 301-redirects to a root page; the dataset itself moved to
Brown's UW project page at https://phototour.cs.washington.edu/patches/
default.htm. Update the docstring link.

Fixes pytorch#8722
