remotes: add mirrorlist for round-robin + failover across mirrors (rpm/deb/apk) (#121)

## Why
OS package remotes (rpm/deb/apk) fetch many small files and benefit from spreading upstream load across mirrors and surviving a mirror outage. A remote may now set a **`mirrorlist`** of additional upstream base URLs. The effective upstream pool is **`[base_url] + mirrorlist`**, which the shared proxy engine load-balances **round-robin** and, on a network error/timeout/5xx, **fails over** to the next mirror before returning an error. Selection happens in the engine, so it works for every provider that reaches upstream.

**Backward compatible:** `base_url` stays a plain string (providers read it unchanged), and a remote with **no mirrorlist behaves exactly as today** (single attempt, same error path).

## How
- `models.Remote.Mirrorlist` (`[]string`, `json:"mirrorlist,omitempty"`) + `UpstreamPool()` = `[base_url] + mirrorlist`.
- `ValidateMirrorlist`: a non-empty mirrorlist is allowed **only** when `repo_type==remote` **and** `package_type ∈ {rpm, deb, alpine}`; each entry must be an http/https URL. Enforced in the v2 create/update handlers (400 otherwise); `base_url` stays required for remotes.
- Persist the mirrorlist in a new additive `mirrorlist TEXT[]` column (`remoteCols`/`scanRemote`/`CreateRemote`/`UpdateRemote`); the `base_url` column is unchanged.
- Engine keeps a per-remote round-robin cursor over the pool; the fetch/head/revalidate upstream calls run in a failover loop that narrows the remote to one selected mirror per attempt. Only network errors and 5xx fail over (404/403/… return as-is). The circuit breaker stays keyed per remote and trips only after all mirrors fail.

## Scope
Round-robin + failover only, restricted to **remote rpm/deb/apk** repos. Least-connections and a per-remote strategy selector are a **follow-up PR**.

## Tests
- Unit: model JSON round-trip + validation gating (rejected on non-rpm/deb/apk and on local, accepted on rpm/deb/apk, bad URL rejected), engine round-robin/failover/no-mirrorlist-unchanged, DB mirrorlist round-trip. `make test` (`go test -race`) green.
- Docker acceptance (`e2e-docker`, `dockere2e` tag, wired into `docker-e2e.sh`): round-robin distribution across two mock upstreams, failover past a dead primary, no-mirrorlist regression, and a **real `dnf` makecache + install** through a two-mirror rpm remote whose `base_url` is dead. All four pass locally.
