We had a GeoIP mirror in the past based on nginx and its GeoIP module,
but it didn't perform very well, due to the high latency (asking a
central server for the package and then redirected to the closest
mirror).

One of the reasons for offering this service, is so we can relieve
mirror.pkgbuild.com which is burning a ton of traffic (50TB/month),
likely due to it being the default mirror in our Docker image. Another
reason is so we can offer a link to our arch-boxes images in libosinfo
(used by gnome-boxes, virt-install and virt-manager), with good enough
performance for most users.

This time we take a different approach and use a DNS based solution,
which means the latency penalty is only paid once (the first DNS
request). The downside is that the mirrors must have a valid certificate
for the same domain name, which makes using third-party mirrors a
challenge. So for now, we are just using the sponsored mirorrs
controlled by the DevOps team.

Fix #101

yaml: truthy value should be one of [false, true] (truthy)
yaml: wrong indentation: expected 4 but found 2 (indentation)
yaml: too few spaces before comment (comments)
yaml: missing starting space in comment (comments)
yaml: too many blank lines (1 > 0) (empty-lines)
yaml: too many spaces after colon (colons)
yaml: comment not indented like content (comments-indentation)
yaml: no new line character at the end of file (new-line-at-end-of-file)
load-failure: Failed to load or parse file
parser-error: couldn't resolve module/action 'hosts'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

certbot by default sleep 1-480 seconds before renewing, to avoid all
people renewing at :00. In our case the logic is is unnecessary as
systemd is handling it (RandomizedDelaySec=24h).

also use systemd instead of service module

service

Some machines use certbot, but don't have nginx so we shouldn't force
the reload here.
