This PR implements #1194 .
Instead of adding another request for this feature I thought I could just contribute one possible solution. It would unlock the majority of enterprise users which have to deal with locked down compute environments. Please be gentle though, this is my first PR in a high profile repo馃槄
This feature introduces two new environment variables and does not touch the script-generated distributions.py file.
I was unable to find public mirrors for the Python/PyPy interpreter, but I could write a test which mimics a mirror by downloading some archives and host them via the built in webserver for example and pass that local host URL as a custom distribution source. Just let me know.
