71f9076846 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.

68b0219354 Rename bootstrap directory
Renamed bootstrap directory to _bootstrap to conform to default ignore
pattern of autostow.sh, and make it visually clear that this is a
special directory, not one used for the dotfiles itself.

b702158b7c Add central variable setting bootstrap directory
Prepare for moving bootstrap directory to conform to new ignore pattern
of autostow.sh script. Bootstrap directory can be overwritten through
environment variable BOOTSTRAP_DIRECTORY, however for now it still
rigidly requires the existence of an install_packages.sh file and an
autostow.sh file which it wants to execute.

6fd8fcf8ca Restructure bootstrap dir, fix install.sh
With bootstrap files no longer linked to config directory, we can have
an easier directory structure with less nesting for them. Install.sh
needs to use the new structure when calling its bootstrap scripts.
