New feature: Profile() now supports .packages which returns any defined packages for that specific profile, as well as archinstall.__packages__ contain any packages that Installer() is responsible for. This can be used to quickly gather any required packages and dependencies by archinstall. Not all profiles have it yet, so .packages might return None.
