Install schist-bin on Omarchy

Schist is a layered image editor built in Rust with a plugin-first design, aimed at people who need real PSD and Affinity file compatibility on Linux without giving up source control. It ships dozens of brushes, selection and retouching tools, adjustment layers, and Photoshop-style filters, plus GPU-accelerated compositing, content-aware fill, liquify, and non-destructive editing. This package installs the prebuilt binary release instead of compiling from source.
