[Build] Eigen dependency download fails with SHA1 hash mismatch - build broken for v1.19.2

[1saeed]

Describe the issue

ONNX Runtime 1.19.2 build fails during CMake configure when FetchContent attempts to download the Eigen library. The SHA1 hash of the downloaded archive from GitLab no longer matches the expected hash hardcoded in cmake/external/eigen.cmake.

This is a blocking issue - the build cannot proceed at all.

Root Cause: GitLab dynamically regenerates zip archives on-the-fly, which can produce different SHA1 hashes even for the same commit. The Eigen archive hash has changed server-side.

Urgency

Build is completely broken. No workaround available without patching the source.
