Summary

Web browsers are deprecating support for FTP; thus, having
an interleaved list of FTP and HTTP links isn’t particularly
user-friendly.

Note that there is another list of mirrors in the "eresources"
chapter, but let's clean up this one first; I also have a followup
patch that cleans up rsync.

Thanks! There is a problem with Bulgaria ("{mirrors-bulgaria-ftp-http} / {mirrors-bulgaria-ftp-httpv6}"), but it was there before; I'll try to investigate later.
