feat: prompt to run slackrepo after --hintfile update

Saves the round-trip of manually invoking slackrepo after
every hint version bump.

 - Hint files are backed up to `.bak` before any modification.
 - If DOWNLOAD or DOWNLOAD_x86_64 is `UNSUPPORTED` or `UNTESTED`, that URL is skipped and its MD5SUM is left unchanged.
 - `--no-dl` / `-N` does **not** skip downloads — it downloads and recalculates checksums as normal, then appends `NODOWNLOAD=yes` to the hint file.
+- After a successful `--hintfile` update, mkhint prompts `Run 'slackrepo update <package>'? [Y/n]`. Enter or `y` runs slackrepo immediately; `n` skips.
 - Bash completion for `-f`/`--hintfile`, `-n`/`--new`, and `-d`/`--delete` autocompletes package names from their respective directories. When `-f <package>` is already on the command line, `-v [TAB]` suggests the current `VERSION` from that package's hint file. If the hint file is absent, no version is suggested. Short flags (`-v`, `-f`, `-n`, `-l`, `-c`, `-d`, `-N`, `-h`) are also completed.
