Support Composer Mirrors

[sprankhub]

We use captainhook/captainhook-phar, which uses phar-io/composer-distributor. We wondered why sometimes, in CI, we get a GitHub timeout even though we use Private Packagist as a mirror. What we've seen:

- Installing captainhook/captainhook-phar (5.22.2): Extracting archive
WARNING
No GPG installation found! Use installed PHARs with care.
Consider installing GnuPG to verify PHAR authenticity.
If you need help installing GnuPG visit http://phar.io/install-gnupg
- Downloading artifact from https://github.com/captainhookphp/captainhook/releases/download/5.22.2/captainhook.phar
In Download.php line 26:

fopen(https://github.com/captainhookphp/captainhook/releases/download/5.22.
2/captainhook.phar): Failed to open stream: Connection timed out

However, our composer.lock file clearly defines a mirror for this package:

        ],
        "time": "2023-12-13T23:08:05+00:00"
    }

Since the mirror is defined, the package should be downloaded from repo.packagist.com and not from github.com.

Would you be able to support this? 🫣 🙏
