Rename `Config/.local/share/bin` to `Config/.local/share/hyde`

IMO bin is not descriptive enough. It'd better to explicitly state that it's a part of hyde

.local/share/bin is a conventional directory that we use to store local binary files. It makes more sense to put all executables in this directory instead of putting it in .local/share/hyde and then adding in to PATH

It is already setting in hyprland,conf, see: https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots/blob/7222bf2de46e0b0453315e8ec225fa1c191ee85c/Configs/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf#L11

I think you've mistaken the ~/.local/bin with ~/.local/share/bin. The first one indeed adds script to a PATH automatically, but second one doesn't. In any way, I still think using explicit directory is more descriptive.

My .local/bin is actually empty. But .local/share/hyde or Hyde-bin doesn’t make sense. Especially to separate from the usr/share/bin. @kRHYME7 maybe you can have a say in this and close this out too.

This is an intentional design choice by T2. I guess he did this to maintain the use of restore_cfg.sh. which is when used to .local/bin causes to purge the whole directory. Let's keep this open for now
