Add option to mirror to launchpad (for PPA)

Julius Künzel requested to merge (removed):work/launchpad-mirror into master

The intention of this is to use it for the Kdenlive PPA. Since years the synchronization is done via an unreliable cron script running on one a machine of one of the Kdenlive team members, but to me it seems a good idea to move it to KDE infrastructure.

I am not finally sure if it makes sense to implement it on this level or if it would be better to do it in the CI? Or a completely different solution? To decide on that it is also important to mention that the Kdenlive PPA also provides a nightly version of mlt (Kdenlives main dependency) and that this needs mirroring too. However I wonder if we might drop this and only keep a stable mlt version in the PPA which can be mirrored by hand since the stable build needs manual actions anyway.

This is optional and will only happen if you add a line like

launchpadmirror: kdenlive

to the repo metadata, where the value is the name of the launchpad repository
