64a92174c0 Begin removal of FTP mirror support
FTP is a terrible protocol these days compared to HTTP. IPv6 support is
spotty at best, it is much slower for the connect/begin transfer cycle,
and overall just doesn't provide anything HTTP does better. Start
killing bits that we've added to treat FTP as a first-class protocol and
regulate it to the back seat.

The expectation here is once this commit goes live to the production
site, the FTP mirror URLs themselves will get removed completely from
the database, and the FTP protocol object itself will get deleted.

12bf4c1b1e Add a smart protocol filter to mirrorlist generator
This will only list FTP mirrors for a given country if there are no HTTP
mirrors available, since FTP must die.

952eba9625 Clean up mirrorlist generation form a bit
Rename template since it really isn't an index of mirrors at all, and
convert the form to use multiple checkboxes for both ftp/http and
ipv4/ipv6 selection.
