Setting up a shared state mirror would most likely always happen by
sharing a shared state directory constructed by BitBake, which has a
specific layout. Otherwise, the following definition:

  SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* https://someserver.tld"

would require the server to have all the sstate artifacts at the root of
the server, in a flat layout, which is probably never the case.
