has_persistent_tasks: use add not dev

[asinghvi17]

In situations where the targeted package has a sources section this will try to dev the package. Pkg then tries to find the packages indicated in sources, which will all be local paths assuming a monorepo structure, except those don't exist - because this is the stripped tarball you get from a Pkg server and not the full repo structure.

Using add should "just fix" that.

I am not quite sure if I understand the problem you are trying to fix. Could you create some minimal example with some detailed instructions on how to get to an error that is fixed by this PR? (I haven't yoused the sources feature myself yet, so I'll need a helping hand for setting up a minimal example)

As a side note: CI seems to be unhappy about this change. Julia version pre 1.10 just succeed because they skip the persistent task set in their testsuite

@asinghvi17 are you still interested in completing this PR? If so, could you please address @lgoettgens questions?

[asinghvi17]

Yeah I should revive this. The issue here is that if you have a package in a monorepo but you install it via Pkg, then Pkg will just get the relevant subdir, not the full monorepo.

Then, if your package has sources, and you try to dev it, Pkg will try to find those relative sources paths, but it doesn't have the full monorepo structure so fails.

The idea here is to add that package instead, which will not look at the sources (iirc).
