An experimental --fasttrack n argument
The idea is to quickly generate a short list of mirrors for use with installers.
The the run_fast_track(n) function does
- decending sort on branches
- ascending sort on last_sync
- does a range(n) loop
- probe url
- save response time
- sort the resulting list by response time
- writes list
It guarantees mirror list of fast and responsive and updated mirrors
