Serve all software reliably to end users in remote locations #23121

Problem

As an end user in a remote location with poor access to the Fleet server (located in a different region), I need to be able to get software quickly and reliably.

Similar to #20765 but we need to be able to server every single package from a CDN rather than just the bootstrap package.

Currently, the host calls Fleet API to download the installer -> Fleet server retrieves the installer from S3 -> Fleet server sends the installer to the host.

Another option for us to consider is allowing admins to set up their own Distribution Points to further enhance reliability in locations not served well by a CDN or severe bandwidth limitations.
