Description

Many components for tier two built targets are not available [link]. As a result, I would like to host a build server for people facing the same issue as me so this process can be easier for them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Whilst network proxies are supported, a simple way to specify a custom build server and documentation on what endpoints/files this server should host would be extremely useful!

Notes
Apologies if this is already possible!

Research direction

Start by reviewing rustup's existing network proxy support and the related rustup issue #2692 about unavailable tier-two build targets. Define the custom build server's required endpoints and files, then document the configuration and verify that users can use a hosted server to obtain those targets.
