feat(project): add to mini.starter

[Jomik]

I am unsure where to put this, as it sort of belongs to two extras.
What I added here will cause mini.starter to always be loaded if you include the projects extra, right?

Gave a check and couldn't really understand what else it brings that the already installed goolord/alpha-nvim is not able to do.

It is to support https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim/blob/81ab5bed7a81c3005f862d6508dacc26c4ed553a/lua/lazyvim/plugins/extras/ui/mini-starter.lua

I believe this PR has the same problem I encountered in my own configuration with dependent layers: the mini.starter spec gets added even when the mini-starter layer is not imported.

For my configuration I had to come up with a HACK-ish workaround so I don't add the specs at all if the parent layer is not loaded: https://github.com/ditsuke/nvim-config/blob/main/lua/ditsuke/utils/lang.lua#L9C3-L11. Now I'm not sure if Lazy already offers a way to tackle this natively, but if not I'd like it if that's done first before we let this one in.

I just pushed a change to lazy.nvim that can better deal with situations like this.

Please add optional=true to the mini.starter spec and while you're at it also add it to the alpha one part of the same file.

What this does, is it will only add those specs in the final spec if the plugin has been configured somewhere else without the optional=true.

This ensures, that for people not using alpha, or mini.starter, that those plugins won't be automatically installed.

That is awesome! Should be ready now :)

Just tested and it all works as expected :)

Thanks!
