Implement DNS-based mirror bootstrap protocol
This way `cabal` can bootstrap secure repos even if the primary Hackage
instance is currently unreachable, as long as there's at least one
reachable and working secure mirror available.
NB: This new code-path is only used for the initial bootstrap. Once the
repository cache has been bootstrapped, its `mirrors.json` meta-data is
used instead.
