Add an --extra-source-urls CLI option to fetch sources from additiona…

…l URLs.

Add the --extra-source-urls CLI option, a | separated list of
URLs that EasyBuild will fetch sources from. It replaces the hard-coded
EASYBUILD_SOURCES_URL, but keeps it as a default value. Uses the add_flex
logic to prepend, append, or insert into the default list.
