Please include this repository in the list of https://source.dot.net #242

Description

@BlinD-HuNTeR

I know this is a duplicate, but, not quite.

In the past, the website https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ pointed to a nice Source Browser webpage, powered by Kirill Osenkov's source browser, which worked just like the ones from https://source.dot.net/ and https://sourceroslyn.io/

Eventually, that webpage was taken down, and https://referencesource.microsoft.com/ is now just redirecting to this repository. And of course, lots of issues were opened, requesting the Source Browser to be brought back.

Now, the reason, I'm opening this issue, is because apparently, around last week, the Source Browser project was revived, and https://source.dot.net/ now has a new face, with a list of repositories that can be browsed:

I also noticed that this list appears to be growing: the last time I looked, there weren't so many repositories in that list.

So my request is: instead of bringing back the source browser at https://referencesource.microsoft.com/, just add this repository to the list of repositories browsable at https://source.dot.net/

Considerations

One side effect of adding this repository to https://source.dot.net/, is that every search for a class in the core library, or other framework libraries, would yield duplicate results: one from dotnet/runtime repository, and one from this repository

If this is a problem, then one possible solution, could be to make the search bar not search this repository by default, unless it is explicitly selected in the drop-down list.
