mirrorauth: Ensure archweb is queried only once per cache TTL

Evangelos Foutras requested to merge mirrorauth-cache-tweaks into master

The first commit adjusts the cache key to not include the original request URI. [1] The second one tweaks how cache entries are populated and refreshed to avoid hitting archweb multiple times while entries are inserted or updated (if stale). [2]

I have tested and deployed these changes. Seems to work well! 🐈

[1] this gets us from many auth requests (1 per URL) down to a handful (however many pacman does concurrently)
[2] after this I now only notice at most one auth request per 5 minutes for both nonexistent and stale cache entries
