Title: Do not fall back to searching the mirror when a mirror-index has been specified

I'm using cpanm with Pinto to install packages from a local repository. The repository can have multiple indexes, so the mirror-index option is a perfect fit. However, when I specify an explicit mirror-index, I **do not** want it to fall back to the repository's default index. I would argue that this should be the behavior whenever mirror-index is specified.

But I can imagine that some folks might argue the other way. So perhaps the fall back behavior could be disabled with a separate switch (it looks like --mirror-index already implies --mirror-only). Let me know if you would prefer that.
