flag to force use of --find-links and ignore later PyPI versions

See original GitHub issue

Presumably, if the user specifies --find-links, they would prefer to install packages from that directory versus PyPI. For example, if I have a wheelhouse with matplotlib, and I specify pip install -f $WHEELHOUSE matplotlib, it should install from there. However, it will default to install from PyPI unless I ALSO specify --no-index.
You might say that this is the desired behaviour. However, what if I have a requirements.txt file and some of the packages are hosted in my wheelhouse and the others are available on PyPI? There is no pip command that will allow me to install my packages using the requirements.txt file, unless I am missing something.

You’d likely need to modify the setup.py unless it was written with this idea in general.
