Pacman Repository Creation

• mlc config to create the config (and also populate it)
• mlc init to build repository base from config file
• mlc build <package> to either build individual packages, or don't specify package names to build all packages in mlc.toml
  • build typically automatically updates the repository unless --no-regen is passed, if so:
• mlc repo-gen to generate functional pacman repository at <name>/<name>.db from built packages
