    Add '--auto-site' option
    
    This enables mirror spped estimation (and thus ordering of mirrors by
    speed in the mirror selection dialog).
    
    The automatically selected mirror overrides any previous site selection
    or '--site' options, if we were able to find one.

    Add speed estimation for mirror list sites
    
    Add a simple speed estimation for mirror list sites.
    
    Use it when no previous (from settings) or explicit (via --site options)
    site selection is made, to give a speed-sorted site selection dialog.
    
    Additionally, in unattended mode, automatically select the 'fastest'
    mirror site.
    
    Future work: This isn't great. We spend a maximum of 5 seconds reading
    from a mirror, but if there's a dead mirror in the mirror list, we spend
    however long trying to connect. Maybe NetIO::open() should have the
    option to specify a shorter timeout?
    
    But that shouldn't happen too often, since the dead mirror will get
    removed from the mirror list in 24 hours, or so.
    
    This also extends the meaning of the NetIO::open() cachable flag, so
    that request is neither entered into, nor retrieved from the local cache.
    
    (Otherwise, a cached setup.ini file from a previous run might be used,
    which won't give an accurate measurement of the origin server's speed).

    Drop maintaining SiteList in order
    
    Drop maintaining SiteList in order. Instead, explicitly sort by the tld
    key when needed.
