Implement CC.ports.ubuntu.com country code selection

[Ryan Finnie]

*.ports.ubuntu.com is now live in DNS, and (hopefully by the time you read this), us.ports.ubuntu.com will be live on a US mirror. To take advantage of this, we should implement country code detection/selection for arches which use ports.ubuntu.com, similar to how CC.archive.ubuntu.com is handled.

This is going to have to happen in the 14.04 cycle, this probably touches a lot more than just choose-mirror and ubiquity. There are a few bits here and there that have a concept of "official mirrors" versus unofficial ones they won't touch/mangle, like software-properties and ubuntu-release-upgrader. We'll have to take some care to find all the right bits before we flip this switch. Should be doable for the LTS, though.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This support was added to choose-mirror 2.65ubuntu5; which landed in Xenial. Ubiquity also has been updated. Closing as Fix Released.
