Make this repo known to pacstall

Adding this repo to the pacstall repositories list:

pacstall -A https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ya55en/pacstall-repo/main

Testing a new package locally

When preparing a new package, we need to fool pacstall to find the local clone of the repo.

This is how we can do it:

1. Add this to the repos (if not yet there):

   pacstall -A file:///$PROJECTS_HOME/pacstall-repo

   Note: It seems the corresponding remote version of the repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ya55en/pacstall-repo/main gets a lower presidence, thus no need to remove it (you can remove it though; it just needs to be back when the testing is over).

2. Use this as a repo base url in the pacsript:

   local REPO_BASE_URL='file:///$PROJECTS_HOME/pacstall-repo'
   

3. Create a symlink in the repo root like this:

   ln -s . main

   (Looks like pacstall appends main it the repo URL does not end on this.)

This should suffice to install the app using the local repo.
