Package list is now a single tab separated list. That should make
several automations in the future much simpler.

The table is built as follows:
`Name   Description Source  Target`

with one line per package. Source denotes official repositories or AUR,
and target is kept for future potential of creating different
deployments per target automatically (e.g. different package list for
desktop and server, and so on).

There is an updater script `bootstrap/update_package_list.sh` which will
automatically populate the table, removing uninstalled packages, adding
new ones and (making its best attempt to be) keeping the selected
targets as they are.

The git commit hook comparing installed and committed packages has also
been rewritten to use the new table and be a little simpler overall.

Fixes #2.

bootstrap module

The bootstrapping module mainly concerns the setup of the repository itself -- installation of packages, setting up basic options and maintenance scripts.

installs general list of packages, listed here
if githooks are enabled (either through install script, or manually) will compare installed packages with those on the package list on each commit and warn user about differences
contains a simple alias dotlink which allows quickly re-linking dotfiles when they have been changed. This is useful to invoke when files have been removed or added and need to be sym-linked by stow again (only works for ~/.dotfiles dot directory)
contains an update_package_list.sh script which I can use to quickly repopulate the list of explicitly installed packages, noting down their source (repositories or AUR) and retaining their target, if I set any (only works for ~/.dotfiles dot directory)
