It's only proof-of-concept. I would like to see OpenEmbedded move away
from a single SRC_URI.

Is it possible to change the checksums.ini / fetcher / hash validation
code in OpenEmbedded/Bitbake to cope with multiple URLs?

Ideally, if the SRC_URI fails to fetch, its package filename has a
one-to-one mapping with the package hash-pair.
The package name and hash-pair are then used to find alternative URLs,
that match the hash-pair.
