Description
### New feature, improvement proposal
We recently started getting HTTP 429 from Maven Central when performing builds on a company internal Jenkins:
```
./mvnw -B -e -s path/to/settings.xml ...
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 429 for URL: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/apache-maven/3.9.11/apache-maven-3.9.11-bin.zip

```
I know there is a possibility to change `distributionUrl` in `.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties`
Unfortunately, it is not feasible in this case, because it is a public git repository that can be built by anybody, so we cannot set a company internal `distributionUrl`.
I wonder whether it would be possible to implement some basic parsing of maven mirrors and an repositories present in settings.xml and respect those when downloading the distro?

Research direction
Start by tracing the wrapper download flow through DefaultDownloader, Installer, and WrapperExecutor, then inspect how .mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.properties and the supplied settings.xml are handled. Check existing tests around distribution downloads and settings parsing. Done means repository or mirror definitions from settings.xml are honored during distro downloads without breaking builds that do not provide those settings.
