Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In China, due to the government firewall or some other reason, NVDA users cannot use the add-on store, get metadata, and cannot download add-ons.
I don't know of any other potential users in regions that are affected by this.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option in NVDA that allows users to set the metadata mirror URL of the add-on store, and the Chinese team can maintain this mirror. Just like it currently does for the add-on updater.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use Monkey Patch for getAddonStoreURL in source/addonStore/network.py.
