magic-proxy: return 404 when InRelease file cannot be found "by hash"

When the magic-proxy script could not find a valid InRelease file for the
configured timestamp, it would fall back to serving the canonical version
of it. This meant that builds would succeed, even though snap-shotting the
repository failed.

This update makes the script return HTTP 404 when an InRelease by-hash
link for a given combination of mirror, suite and timestamp cannot be
found.
