Proposal: enable multilib during installation via archinstall

Hey,

Quick suggestion: would it be worth adding a multilib toggle in archinstall?

It's something a lot of users end up enabling anyway (Steam, Wine, 32-bit GPU libs...), and it's a recurring question on the forum. Having to manually edit pacman.conf post-install isn't hard, but it catches people off guard.

Not suggesting it be enabled by default — just a visible opt-in step during installation would be enough.

Thanks

It's already included in archinstall.  Multilib is selectable under "optional repositories," which is the third option under "Mirrors and repositories," the third step of the install.
