aur-auto-vote: vote for packages from compiled-AUR repositories #19

Description

The problem

I use lots of compilation-heavy AUR packages. To speed things up in some low-end computers, I have set up a personal repository that automatically compiles those packages. Given the way that pacman treats the packages, they are treated as "native" rather than "foreign", which means aur-auto-vote will not vote for them.

The solution?

I propose to add a flag that adds the "native" packages installed from a specific repo to the list of packages that will be voted for. It should be user-configurable and in the case a package does not exist anymore it shouldn't fail, given that packages ceasing to exist is a very real case. I think it might be a niche use case, but I'd find it useful so maybe somebody else too :)

An example (with a repo that everyone has so it can be used):

pacman -Sl core | grep '\[installed\]'

If there is consensus about it I could make the appropiate patches.

Thanks for this project! :D
