Prefer loading SLIME from the local-projects directory.

Modifiy the .el template to look in the local-projects directory before the
dist/ directory of quicklisp.

@quicklisp would you please reconsider this? Slime has a bug with emacs 28 that's fixed in their github master since jan 2021, but the latest release was in dec 2020. It's effectively broken atm, and this is the one package we can't override in quicklisp.

I just dug a little deeper and apparently there's a(nother) layer of indirection built into slime loading. Through a file called swank.txt. You can load local slime like this:

cd ~/quicklisp
mv dists/quicklisp/installed/systems/swank.txt{,.orig}
echo local-projects/slime/swank.asd > dists/quicklisp/installed/systems/swank.txt

So if you're struggling with this error ( slime/slime#594 ): "error '(wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2)'" in function "define-obsolete-variable-alias", you can fix it by running the above snippet, and:

mkdir -p ~/quicklisp/local-projects
cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects
git clone https://github.com/slime/slime

and you should be good to go with Emacs 28, Slime, Quicklisp, and the quicklisp slime helper

In the interim, if quicklisp-slime-helper does not work for you, don't use it - use the install instructions from slime instead.
