Comment (by desmith):

 Uploaded the "this took an hour or two" version, which makes the URL
 filter'able.

 Very important notes:
 * This is barely tested! It doesn't crash WP but that's pretty much it. In
 particular, I don't have a working mirror or proxy against which to test.
 * This has an implicit side effect of making all calls to
 api.wordpress.org, use HTTPS (mostly because it was a lot simpler that
 way, and again in very limited testing it didn't ''seem'' to break
 anything).
 * If you're using an alternate location for updates, we should probably do
 a health check against it, similar to the existing
 `get_test_dotorg_communication()`
 * I intentionally left references to documentation, credits, events, and
 the salt generator, pointing to .org instead of overriding them -
 referring users to the "canonical" location for docs seemed appropriate, I
 could be persuaded to change the salts though.

 Again, it's just a starting point. I assume I've overlooked a bunch of
 things.
