- Provides better documentation on the topChoices field - Changes default to only return the best server instead of top 3 - Avoids distant servers (>50km by default) from the top choice when topChoices is enabled, while still keeping similar servers (same location, etc) - Reverts localized servers due to issues with large countries and limited server selection
- Prepare code for unit tests - Mock unit tests in ideal cases
- Changes geolocation to a provider for use of either API or Mocking - Add server tests for testing closest/choices - Adds test for deviation checking

This PR rewrites the
Closestfunction to add aMaxDeviationfield, which allows a configurable maximum distance from the closest server to be used. This will prevent issues when there's a close (<50km) server, and then the next two closest are 500km away.Changes
maxDeviationin yaml) which defaults to 50kmlocalServerchecks which could cause issues with countries that only have one server, or servers that are nowhere near the user. For example, if a server is in Vancouver, BC in Canada, and a user from Toronto wants to get a mirror, it would prefer and return the Vancouver mirror instead of a closer Chicago or New York one. This is resolved by using one server and the MaxDeviation fields.
