Support rsync to help Chinese users to setup mirrors

[Nala Ginrut]

Hi folks!
We've encountered some issues when mirroring Guix replated repos in China.
https://github.com/ustclug/mirrorrequest/issues/96
https://github.com/tuna/issues/issues/199
https://github.com/ustclug/mirrorrequest/issues/96

Is there any plan to support rsync recently?
I'm doing an experiment to use Guix in our product development, but we
need China mirrors. The connection outside China is utterly unstable
because of some reasons.

In the Chinese discussion, someone mentioned that @Ludo had given them a config
script, however, it's just a reverse-proxy, and China servers have
problems to visit upstream because of the firewall.

If Guix upstream support rsync, then it's easier for us to mirror.

Feedbacks are welcome.

Best regards.
