Currently, preferred-install accepts the hash of patterns as the value in the composer.json. I've followed the same approach as used in extra and platform for letting the user define install preferences through CLI in the format: `composer config preferred-install my-organization/stable-package.dist`.
This includes two breaking changes:
- the hostname is not resolved in the case of an IP address.
- a hostname with a trailing period (FQDN) is not matched.
This brings the basic implementation in line with curl behaviour, with
the addition of full IP address and range matching (curl does not
differentiate between IP addresses host names).
The NO_PROXY environment variable can be set to either a comma-separated
list of host names that should not use a proxy, or single asterisk `*`
to match all hosts.
- Port numbers can be included by prefixing the port with a colon `:`.
- IP addresses can be used, but must be enclosed in square brackets
`[...]` if they include a port number.
- IP address ranges can specified in CIDR notation, separating the IP
address and prefix-length with a forward slash `/`.

ProcessExecutor::escape handled a false value inconsistently across
platforms, returning an emtpy string on Windows, otherwise `''`. This
is fixed to return `""` on Windows.
The GitDownloaderTest code has been appropriately updated.
Only when a install directory was not specified, was the CWD prepended to `$directory`. This change provides consistency in paths displayed to the user.
Provides feedback output before a potentially long wait on getBestCandidate() call on slow network connections where unresponsiveness/hang may be assumed.
Avoid waiting until after `getBestCandidate()` has finished, as it can add notably delay on slow connections due to downloading megabytes of data. Only to fail if the install location is invalid.
