[Bro] `bro-pkg install .` issue

[Zeolla@GMail.com]

Problem solved - user error, but with some follow-up.

At first, I thought bro-pkg install . was leveraging the local (./)
directory structure, but instead it was using the local git repo, and
assumed the master branch (not the current branch).  If I run bro-pkg
install . --version bro-pkg (which is the name of my git branch with the
right bro-pkg.meta file) it works just fine.

Per a chat with Jon, I've opened this issue
<https://github.com/bro/package-manager/issues/12> as a follow-on.
