Every time a gem is not found in the Compact Index API, RubyGems will fallback to the full index, which is very slow. This is unnecessary because both indexes should be providing the same gems, so if a gem can't be found in the Compact Index API, it won't be found in the full index. We _do_ want a fallback to the full index, whenever the Compact Index API is not implemented. To detect that, we check that the API responds to the "/versions" endpoint, just like Bundler does.
