Add a pacscript for openbangla-keyboard-git.

This builds the latest OpenBangla-Keyboard (an IBus-based Bengali input method) directly from the master branch. It includes:

  • Dynamic versioning based on commit count and short hash (e.g., r164.a1b2c3d)
  • Full Qt5 and Rust build, with the riti engine compiled via Cargo
  • Requires network access (external_connection=true) so Cargo can fetch Rust dependencies
  • Maps to the upstream Repology project "openbangla-keyboard" for accurate version tracking
  • Provides gives="openbangla-keyboard" with replaces/conflicts to ensure smooth upgrades if a stable package is added later

Tested locally on Ubuntu 26.04 (amd64) – builds and installs correctly.
