be89c6b9c6 SAS Packages Framework, version 20220925
**SAS Packages Framework**, version `20220925`

New parameter `mirror=` added to the `%installPackage()` macro.
The `mirror` indicates which web location for packages installation is used.
Value `1` indicates: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/main`
Value `2` indicates: `https://pages.mini.pw.edu.pl/~jablonskib/SASpublic/SAS_PACKAGES`
Default value is `1`.
