According to the upstream issue tracker, they now provide a translator
from the old URL scheme to the new at their pre-release version at
https://pypi.io/.

I did not do much testing, so I would be glad if someone could give the
attached patch some more testing, especially if this breaks fetching any
of the old ports.

Also a quick grep returned quite a lot of ports not using the pypi:
mirror sites, but instead hardcode pypi.python.org. Although it still
works, they should probably all be changed to allow control of the
mirrors at a single place.
