Change bootstrap to use standard stow functions Removed the `autostow.sh` scipt. Its use was to call stow for every folder in base directory and ignore certain folders. Both those functions can be handled by stow on its own. Stow allows defining per-directory ignore patterns with `.stow-loca-ignore` files, which can be set to `.*` to completely ignore a folder, just as before. And Stow can be called with a glob pattern to automatically call it for every directory in the repository. `.stowrc` additionally makes sure that all operations take place targeting the home directory of the current user, since that is where the dotfiles will (generally) be stored. Of course, this can be overridden with the stow command-line options (see option precedence in stow manual). Finally, the bootstrap stow module adds an alias `dotlink` to the shell, which allows fast (re-)stowing of all directories in the dotfile repository. It uses a hard-coded location for the .dotfiles base directory, so if the dotfiles are cloned anywhere else this has to be customized.
