15e0deae2b Add support for Windows (#1374)
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.

Extract manual installation instructions
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.
