Intl: ICU download retry, backup urls

[srl295]

See nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#9184

• support 'backup URLs'
• retry on failure

[jbergstroem]

According to Steven, as of a few hours ago this should have been fixed.

As for retry on failure, thats easier said than done with urllib. How about we close this for now? I'm looking at using wget/curl where possible as an alternate solution.

Johan- I'd like to support backup urls at least to handle 404s. Or could
wget/curl (where available??) be part of this issue? Not sure why this
needs to be closed exactly- I'm trying to capture the original sentiment
from Joyent/node

@srl295 sorry - I thought the issue was about getting it mirrored through sourceforge which you mentioned was accomplished the other day. Feel free to keep it open.

As for hte replacement of nodedownload.py, its a work in progress on my local machine for now.

.. Also, don't output the following if stdout isn't a TTY

@jbergstroem wget/curl would at least have a retry option.

[jasnell]

Does this need to stay open?

[jbergstroem]

An actionable item would be switching to wget/curl. I started on this a good while ago but never finished. Feel free to close from my part.

[srl295]

Basically moot by #6088

I'm going to close this, because with #6088 ICU is not downloaded unless full ICU is requested - it's a nice-to-have, but most people won't see it unless they turn on full ICU. We can always reopen it if desired.
