MVP of how to add custom scripts to the amnesia terminal on TailsOS

[fititnt]

We're already doing this. Maybe we could just document better (than people look at the dotfiles, in special the dotfiles/example/rocha/.bash_profile if they want know about startup scripts) or we assume it's done.

Oh f**k me. Did not work as expected.

I think instead of do the rigth way (read the documentation and undestand how it is suposed to work) I will just reinvent the wheel!
Anyway, either for my future self (or anyone trying to do the less wrong way) this was the current version of .bash_profile.

The main error I found was, when restarting the Tails, neither /home/amnesia/Persistent/software/bin or /home/amnesia/Persistent/bin was added to the path (maybe .bash_profile is ignored.. for every new terminal).

On the docs/zzz-undocumented.sh I was using just

rm -r ~/bin
ln -s /home/amnesia/Persistent/git/fititnt/TailsOS-for-non-whistleblowers/bin ~/bin

So maybe lets call this a feature.

Ok, I just created a release here https://github.com/fititnt/TailsOS-for-non-whistleblowers/releases/tag/v1.0. So I will do some refactoring.

I may not do new releases on future, but this release is just to I care less of more severe refactoring.

Things are improving

• tails-do-it : add our custom place to store files
• tails-ui-options-import: import terminal colors, gedit themes, etc
• tails-code: load one portable vscode on disk to the ram and executes
