"registry" key in settings to support list of values #401

Description

As you can imagine, this can be useful so that a custom registry can be searched, in addition for the registry that ships with SHPC.
A precedence must be established, e.g. higher on the list has higher precedence.

Some more rationale for this.
On one hand I thought, well SHPC container recipes should be universal by definition, and thus should always be pushed and merged into the public registry. So why bother?

On the other hand, I pictured a scenario where a cluster makes a SHPC installation available to all users.
End users might need to write a new recipe for a container that is not yet supported; I think writing an SHPC recipe is can be taught to a wide range of users. However, instructing them to also open a PR on github is an additional step that may constitute a barrier to some of them. This is a case where a custom location for additional, home-made recipes comes handy.

What do you think @vsoch ?
