J. Nick Koston 8898b94af4 Avoid infinite loop when cached mirror redirect keeps failing (#5435)
* Avoid infinite loop when cached mirror redirect keeps failing

The registry mirror iterator caches the HEAD redirect for one hour,
but the cache hit path never advanced _visited_mirrors, and the
cached payload did not include X-PIO-Mirror. When a prior run cached
a redirect to a mirror that now fails (for example an SSL error on
the download), subsequent iterations kept hitting the same cache key
and returning the same failing mirror forever, so tool installs
looped until interrupted.

Store X-PIO-Mirror in the cached payload, and on cache hit only
reuse the entry if it names a mirror not already tried; otherwise
fall through to a fresh HEAD with bypass set. Stale cache entries
written before this change lack X-PIO-Mirror and fall through
naturally, so the fix self heals without a manual cache clear.

* Add unit tests for registry mirror iterator cache handling

Cover the cache hit path advancing _visited_mirrors, stale cache
entries without X-PIO-Mirror falling through to a fresh HEAD, and
new HEAD responses persisting X-PIO-Mirror so later runs can tell
whether the cached redirect still names an untried mirror. Each
test fails against the previous iterator implementation.

* Add type annotations to mirror iterator tests

* Use typing.X annotations for 3.6 compatibility

* Satisfy pylint and black on mirror iterator tests
