add ESS Pro to distributions

[neilisfragile]

Adding in ESS Pro since it is a high profile distribution.

I've said elsewhere but I think we need a deterministic ordering for projects for all eco-system pages and I would support the approach Thib outlines here, but for now, adding as is.

Hi Neil, we are of course aware of ESS Pro (and ESS Pro TI-M). You may have noticed we did not include any commercial distros at all for the initial launch due to open questions but still trying to get something that was missing a long time finally out of the door. Perhaps you could share your thoughts on this discussion?

Ah I missed this, okay will comment.

@HarHarLinks I'd really like to make progress on getting this one merged.

#2907 (comment) has stalled, but I'm not sure how to bring that discussion to a conclusion. A pragmatic path to me would be to list commercial distros where the owner does contribute to the wider eco-system. For the short term, we exclude non-contributing distros (though do we even have an example of someone who wants to be listed?).

I don't believe I can just make that decision myself, but who can?
