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This fixes various outdated links pointing to the old jwilm/alacritty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.
While Gentoo was listed in the table of contents of the INSTALL.md, the
instructions to install the build dependencies were missing.
This adds the emerge command necessary to install all dependencies of
Alacritty (other than Rust) so building from source without the overlay
is possible.
This switches our own `copypasta` crate with the more standardized
`clipboard` library, which allows us to get rid of the `xclip`
dependency on X11.
Additionally, this lays the foundation for native Wayland clipboard
support once the clipboard crate is updated (or a fork is created).
Fixes#5.
To make sure all extended capabilities can be queried correctly, it is
necessary to compile the terminfo file using the `-x` flag.
Since Alacritty specified support for the XTerm mouse mode (XM/xm),
using the `-x` flag was not possible until now without breaking programs
like `htop`. By removing this flag, these issues should be resolved.
This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/2131.
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.
