Add fallback to GitHub AUR mirror when aur.archlinux.org is down
**Description:** Currently, `paru` relies only on `aur.archlinux.org`. When `aur.archlinux.org` is down (e.g. high load or DDoS attack), `paru` cannot search or fetch packages. The Arch Linux team provides an GitHub mirror of AUR packages: ```sh git clone --branch <package_name> --single-branch https://github.com/archlinux/aur.git <package_name> ``` **Question / Feature idea:** Would it be possible for `paru` to automatically fall back to the GitHub AUR mirror when `aur.archlinux.org` is unreachable? **Benefit:** This could improve the reliability of `paru` during AUR downtime.
