allow custom API hosts

[asmacdo]

Currently, pypi.org is hardcoded into the request. Ideally this should be configurable to allow usage with a mirror.

FWIW, that mirror would currently have to serve the (non-standardised) JSON API (info at https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/json.html).

If you had such a repository, the key LOC is

pypi-timemachine/pypi_timemachine/core.py

Line 12 in 33e10ad

JSON_URL = 'https://pypi.org/pypi/{package}/json'

.

It would be interesting to make use of modern PEPs to get this project working without the JSON API (PEP-691, and PEP-700, which includes upload time in the simple response).

Coming back a year later to say that I prototyped this in #10. So long as the mirror serves PEP-700 metadata, it will work nicely.
