Migrating away from Sourceforge

Howdy all,

I noticed there was some discussion of this on #winehackers a week or
two ago, but I haven't seen any formal discussion about it. Given
SourceForge's recent activities [1] [2] with taking over open source
projects for their own gain, I propose that we migrate away from
SourceForge. The main uses for SourceForge is for mirroring tarballs,
wine-gecko/wine-mono installers, and the wine-gecko git repository.

@Jeremy, would it be feasible for winehq's (existing) servers to
handle the additional load?
