Title: Select fast mirrors using reflector

Hello Aaron,

this pull request solves a problem described in this issue:
https://github.com/elasticdog/packer-arch/issues/8

The first entry in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist points to a slow server.

My solution is to select fast mirrors using reflector before performing installation of base packages.
