add concept exercise mecha-munch-management

[depial]

This is a potential concept exercise for the dict-functions concept. mecha-munch-management was taken from the python track and I've translated it with a few modifications to better suit Julia and the current about.md.

Notes:

• Missing the exercise introduction.md until we settle on the concept introduction.md
• Encourages the use of Dict functions: get, keys, merge!, mergewith! and get!
• Status set to "wip" until we publish the dict-functions
• Original authors @meatball133 and @BethanyG are listed as authors, if that's alright?

Looking great so far. I'll try to get #994 finished tomorrow, now I have a clear view of what the exercise needs. Then we can copy the Introduction to here and make both of them live.

I forgot to mention that I've set higher-order-functions as its prereq since mergewith is a HOF.

I'll leave the merging of the various PRs to you, since I'm not paying much attention to the status of AWS and don't want to mess that up :D

[colinleach]

Configlet should be fine once we can merge the concept.

Maybe tomorrow. The website is now showing flickers of life, but very unreliable with lots of timeouts.

Looking mostly good - it synced smoothly and now shows up on the website if you enter the URL. I'm still not seeing it on the syllabus tree, but I'll check again later.

Edit: A few minutes later, the page I previously saw now gives a 404. At this point I plan to step away from the computer and concentrate on breakfast.

[depial]

That's what I saw initially, now I don't see it on the tree... I saw that Julia nightly - ubuntu-24.04 failed on the merge of the exercise, so I'll look into that.

You should definitely go enjoy breakfast!

The CI failure is baffling-birthdays. Maybe a random glitch with an exercise based on randomness??

[depial]

I reran it and it passed. I would suspect you're right on it being due to randomness.

[colinleach]

It might be worth relaxing the test stringency. I'll look into it later.

[depial]

Still no progress on the syllabus tree, but the exercise is available in the practice section.

[colinleach]

More evidence for website confusion: it seems I authored dict-functions 3 times, picking up 10 rep each time. Fortunately, there is no cost to Exercism for this largesse!

Interesting how it's spread out, with PR 1033 in the middle there. I only got rep for one review, so at least it's stayed honest on my end :D
