Searching for 'checkers' (the game) doesn't show the expected 'nbsdgames' package

Searching the same string at https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=24.11&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=checkers shows that package as the very first result.

Unfortunately, the data for "programs provided" isn't available in the packages.json file published on channels.nixos.org, so this isn't going to be quick and easy.

It looks like search.nixos.org gets that data from the programs.sqlite database (source). We can generate/fetch that file and grab the data no problem, it's just a bit more work.

I split the other part of the ticket to #7
