[OE-core] [RFC] DISTRO_MIRRORS / DISTRO_PREMIRRORS

Folks,
Recently we have seen a number of fetch failures, due to upstream sites
being down or deprecated (tinylogin, pscmic and others).
The issue is that oe-core as a non-distro does not have a default set of
mirrors, which causes the fetcher to fail as there is no fall-back
mirror to distrubte the source code.
As has been pointed out, different projects and distributions (Yocto
Project and Angstrom) both have upstream source mirrors which could be
used. Currently the Yocto Project defines it's MIRRORS and PREMIRRORS in
meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf.
I propose that we add a list of DISTO_MIRRORS and DISTRO_PREMIRRORS with
default settings pointing to the current autobuilder.yoctoproject.org
source site. These would be added to the mirrors.bbclass, so that
oe-core will have a default set of mirrors that can be overridden by a
distro or layer.
