Description
The rust binary source url can be configured using RUST_BASE_URI so that a mirror can be used. The cargo binary locations actually seem to be hardcoded in the .bb files. Is there anyway to override these?

Research direction
Start by locating the .bb files that define the cargo binary locations and compare their URL handling with RUST_BASE_URI. Trace how the existing variable is consumed, then identify the recipe entry points that would need an override. Done means a mirror can change the cargo binary locations without editing the .bb files.
