caching_proxy.py: only take .deb and by-hash artifacts from the old path 1 year ago

Use an caching apt proxy instead of copying /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
- only download Release files once and not by apt as well as with curl
   and thus avoid a mirror push happening between both downloads
 - no heuristic needed to place the file in their correct mirror
   location
 - no manual checksum checking
 - only throttle download speed when actually downloading and not when
   retrieving files from the cache
 - no translation of filenames between how the epoch colon is stored in
   files in /var/cache/apt/archives versus how it is stored in files on
   the mirrors
 - no special handling of stable update and security mirrors
 - implemented in Python instead of shell and thus an order of magnitude
   faster
