Four packages moved from Arch's testing repositories to stable, and archinstall enabled a Pylint warning that catches a classic Python bug.

Packages moved from extra-testing to the stable repositories [1][2][3][4], so users on the main branch can now install mise, sing-box, sing-geosite-rule-set, and v2ray without testing repos. Meanwhile, chromium updated to 152.0.7977.64-1 in extra-testing-x86_64 [5]. Over in archinstall, the project enabled the Pylint cell-var-from-loop warning [6][7], which detects closures that capture loop variables late.
