Host psutil on PyPi

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently psutil is hosted off of PyPi, this presents security and performance 
challenges. If you could upload the releases to PyPi and then follow the 
instructions at pypi-externals.caremad.io/help/what/ it'd be great!

It certainly seems there's a lot of demand for this so I think it's time to 
accept it.
I guess we can do this starting from next psutil version.
Out of curiosity, what are the security and performance challenges you are 
referring to?

The performance challenge is that to find externally hosted packages pip needs 
to scrape the URLs, this is extremely slow compared to things hosted on PyPi 
itself, which has a good distributed CDN. (You'd think being on google would 
help things, empirically it does not).

The security concern is that the scraped URLs are not downloaded over HTTPS.
