mise bootstrap packages install ​

Install missing system packages from [bootstrap.packages]

Checks which configured packages are missing and installs them with the system package manager. This may elevate with sudo when not running as root (see the system_packages.sudo setting).

Packages can also be given explicitly in manager:package form (e.g. apk:zlib-dev, apt:curl, brew:jq); they are installed whether or not they appear in the config. Explicit packages and --manager scope the run to packages only.
