Recently, there used to be two Nimble package lists present.
One was hosted on GitHub and the other on the Nim website. However, the latter was serving stale data for a good few years at this point due to basically nobody remembering that it existed.
After a ton of confusion from multiple people (see #1139, #1129, #1149, #1144, #1084, there's probably many more), the cause was found and the out-of-sync list was removed.
However, @PMunch and @ringabout have managed to keep the Nim website list in sync now, and that's good because GitHub's connections can be very erratic for many people (myself included). This PR reintroduces the Nim website packages list.
Please do not ask me why I wrote an entire essay on a few lines of code changed. I was terribly, terribly bored.
TL;DR: this PR re-adds an old packages list back, now that it's in synchronization and no longer serves stale data.
