Use meta to help manage the multi-repo dependencies

[gewenyu99]

What does meta do

Gives you a convenient way to pull, sync, run commands across repos. Submodules are great but I guess clunky? meta does an okay job trying to solve this.

Changes

Multi-repo setup with meta

• Added .meta config to clone dependent repos into repos/ subdirectory
• Added repos/ to .gitignore so cloned repos stay local.
• Updated mprocs.yaml paths from ../ to repos/ for self-contained structure
• A way to checkout the same branch for all repos, if you're developing in all repos at once.
• If you have posthog/posthog or posthog/example already pulled and have separate changes there, this lets you avoid them.
• You can ignore meta if you just don't wanna use it.

i'm for it! but let's kick the tires a few times first

this feels like it will reduce barrier to contribution (especially as a n00bie), I like
