Since users should be capable of finding packages for their
distributions, this removes all instructions that point users directly
at specific packages.
The third party repositories like COPR have been kept, since those
are more difficult to find.
The structure of the installation instructions has also been reworked to
adjust for this and the post build instructions should be a bit cleaner
now.

This is only an update to the readme and does not represent a stable
release.

Since the Ubuntu PPA from mmstick is apparently not maintained anymore,
people should no longer be instructed to install the outdated version
that is available from the PPA.
The System76 PPA repository still contains an up to date version of
Alacritty, but since it also comes with several other packages we cannot
recommend users to install it outside of Pop!_OS.
Fixes #3863.

This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty
repository.
Since `copypasta` now has its own github repository at
https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta, the sources have been removed
from Alacritty.

This should help with compatibility problems with some platforms like
KDE, that do not support all the features necessary for rendering the
default Alacritty logo.

By setting the minimum Rust version and enforcing it with CI, Alacritty
should hopefully make it possible for maintainers to package the
application even on distributions which are not rolling release.
The 1.31.0 target has been chosen here because it's the first version of
the Rust 2018 release. Bumping this version in the future should be
considered to be a breaking change and should only be done with caution
and in consideration of the supported Rust versions of the major
distributions available.
This fixes #2277.

Update the README and related files.
This commit generally updates some language in the "About" section, and other sections with respect to keeping accurate information, and laying out the project goals in a clear way.
We're also marking Alacritty as "beta" software at this point, not that this has any explicit meaning.

To make things easier to understand for Windows users, the
relationship between Alacritty and the WinPTY agent has been
clarified in the documentation.
This also bundles the windows agent and exe together in a zip file to
make distribution for windows easier on the user.

All configuration fields now have fallback values which will be used if
the field is not present. This includes mouse, key bindings and platform
specific differences.
The mouse and key bindings are now filled by default, if the user
rebinds a default mapping, it will be overwritten. To unbind a default
binding, it can be mapped to `chars: ""`.
Since all platform differences can now be correctly handled by the
`src/config/mod.rs` code, it's no longer necessary to maintain separate
configuration files, so the `alacritty_macos.yml` and
`alacritty_windows.yml` have been deleted.
Fixes #40.
Fixes #1923.

Readd instructions for how to install pre-compiled alacritty packages on
FreeBSD. This was accidentaly removed in cb6e065.

Initial support for Windows is implemented using the winpty translation
layer. Clipboard support for Windows is provided through the `clipboard`
crate, and font rasterization is provided by RustType.
The tty.rs file has been split into OS-specific files to separate
standard pty handling from the winpty implementation.
Several binary components are fetched via build script on windows
including libclang and winpty. These could be integrated more directly
in the future either by building those dependencies as part of the
Alacritty build process or by leveraging git lfs to store the artifacts.
Fixes #28.

Alacritty's manual installation instructions take up a lot of space in
the README and they are hard to navigate because there's a lot of
information for specific distros which are irrelevant to most users.
To improve this situation, the manual installation section has been
moved to the `INSTALL.md` file. This allows keeping the readme to a
minimum which just includes the straight-forward instructions required
to install it on systems which provide packages for it.
Having a separate file also makes it possible to add a full index just
for the installation instructions, which makes it possible to skip
sections which are irrelevant.

This replaces the current definitions, which depend on the system's
'xterm-256color' terminfo definition with the `alacritty` and
`alacritty-direct` definitions.
The new definitions are completely standalone.
The default `TERM` value has been changed to be dynamically
set based on the definitions installed on the system. Alacritty will
try to use the `alacritty` definition first and fall back to
`xterm-256color` if the `alacritty` definition is not present.
