Bug description:  Remove mirrors of PHP website from google to make finding solutions 
easier

Description:
------------
Can consideration be given to putting a robots.txt containing

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

for mirrors of the PHP website? I.e. only php.net would not disallow
google in.

It is very annoying when using google/whatever to find a solution to a
problem to be confronted with continual multiple copies of the same
thing.

Given that the main www.php.net has redirections to local mirrors
installed, google searching will take people to the local mirror anyway.

Presumably this would take a while to filter through to all the mirrors.

There might be an issue with using site:[mirrorname] [searchterms] but
this would be outweighed by not having to plough through multiple copies
(many of which are out of date) of the PHP documentation.
