[PATCH] devel/try-lei: for interactive testing + debugging

[Eric Wong]

This script allows creating a clean lei instance for interactive
testing without modifying a user's current lei $HOME||$XDG_*
directories.  I used this to debug and test fixes leading to
99fc3d76 (v2writable: done: force synchronous awaitpid, 2024-11-19) and
807abf67 (lei/store: auto-commit for long-running imports, 2024-11-15)
fixes for long-running `lei import' runs.
