Bug Description

[Impact]
The links for the following are broken in the Service Information or the Host Information menus for the following links:

View Trends For This Service
View Alert Histogram For This Service
View Trends For This Host
View Alert Histogram For This Host

[Test Plan]
Just access those links in: Current status / Hosts and Current status / Services and choosing a host or a service

[Where problems could occur]
The URLs for all cgi scripts are modified. I tested extensively but there may be some section of the web UI that might get affected by this change. Also installed nagios from source and the URLs are the same as the ones in this package after the change so if something breaks it's probable that it is also broken upstream.

[Other Info]
The patch consists in changing the with-cgiurl to /nagios4/cgi-bin as, per limitations on the Nagios code, the html files (on /nagios4) should be one folder level below cgi-bin. This is because sometimes Nagios tries to reach html files as ../file.html while the base url is pointing to the cgi-bin folder.

Thanks for the debdiff, Jorge! A few comments:

Even though the fix is the same for J/M/N, we'll need separate debdiffs and versions for each. We'll need to keep the upgrade path working between each release, so I'd suggest something like below (according to [0]):
- 4.4.6-4ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Jammy
- 4.4.6-4ubuntu0.23.10.1 for Mantic
- 4.4.6-4ubuntu0.24.04.1 or 4.4.6-4ubuntu1 for Noble (depending on whether O will need fixing as well)

And it's great that you ran the update-maintainer script as well. Would you be able to add a mention of this in the changelog entries, too?

Finally, I'd really appreciate it if we had any mention of the fix on the SRU template. Maybe a short section explaining why we're changing the --with-cgiurl flag, and where that fix came from?
