mail: Switch aerc for neomutt, simplify maildir
Made mail dir synchronization simpler - only a couple of important
directories will ever get synchronized to the local file system, but
still containing basically all important incoming mails.

Removed aerc and switched it for neomutt. aerc is very nice and needs
little to no configuration but neomutt is, as of this moment, just more
stable and mature. It opens quickly, never crashes, has a nice indexing
and quick e-mail handling behavior and is incredibly customizable.
Basically, once you put in some configuration effort, it is everything
aerc isn't --- and that is good, both have their reasons for existing.
It's just that mutt currently works better for me and will thus be the
e-mail reader of choice from now on.

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 (skipping those on the ignore list).
  • 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).
