update the index of packages

Description

this PR

• updates the index of packages with all the repos containing package.nuon i know of
• renames the file to index.nuon

details on the format

index.nuon is a table which contains a required $.package: string and an optional $.dir? :string:

• $.package has format {host}:{repo}, e.g. github.com:amtoine/nu-git-manager
• $.dir is an optional subdirectory in the repo when the package is not at the root of the repo, e.g. nu-logout for nu-logout inside amtoine/scripts

this allows to run a script such as the following to get the list of all the packages and their metadata 👌

let index = open index.nuon | each {|it|
    let pkg = $it.package | parse "{host}:{name}" | into record

    let host = match $pkg.host {
        "github.com" => "raw.githubusercontent.com",
        _ => { error make --unspanned { msg: $"invalid host '($pkg.host)'" } },
    }

    let url = {
        scheme: "https",
        host: $host,
        path: ($pkg.name | append ["main", $it.dir?, "package.nuon"] | compact | str join '/'),
    }
    print $"fetching '($pkg.name)'"
    http get ($url | url join)
}

$index | select name? version? type?

@amtoine this works great !

I downloaded your repo and ran the script and it works nicely

good job 😄

I came up with something similar when working on online installation on packages. We can merge and use this in the meanwhile, I still didn't manage to finish it.
