[CentOS-docs] centos.org List of Mirrors & Javascript

Hello,

I would like to propose a small change to
http://centos.org/download/mirrors/

Currently the mirror list is generated using Javascript but there is neither
non-Javascript version of the list nor fallback a message for users without
Javascript.

It would be great to have non-Javascript version but at least a fallback
message "you need Javascript" would greatly improve the user experience.

Without Javascript, the page looks like this:
"
List of CentOS Mirrors

CentOS welcomes new mirror sites. If you are considering setting up a public
mirror site for CentOS, please follow the mirror guidelines to make sure that
your mirror is consistent with the other mirror sites.
"

... and that is it. There is no indication that the list of mirrors cannot be
loaded because of missing Javascript. This greatly confused me when browsing
with disabled Javascript.

Have a nice day!
