chore: misc (#100 ) (this makes 2.0.0)

Co-authored-by: grialion <48643945+grialion@users.noreply.github.com> - Fix license ambiguity (#88) - just the only/or-later ambiguity point, not adding SPDX identifyiers unless more people request it - Better document kmscon (#91) - Make 2.0.0 already to close #86 - Add a changelog - Add packagers info (acutally just add them to install guide) - Add AUR service packages (I'll take care of systemd and dinit, let others package the rest and leave systemd open for someone who actually uses it in docs) - Make sure all makefile installs to `/usr/local` by default - Simplify Makefile complexity by several orders
fix: building with -flto=auto (#102 )

+<!-- Unspecified dates shall be in CET/CEST -->
+
+<!-- Add only very relevant changes, bottom to top -->
+<!-- By "very relevant" I mean big features or something manual packagers should know, like leftover files -->
+<!-- Once a release would be opened, group the last bunch of dangling changes, add release version as header and its date -->
+
+- Most stuff (most of `/etc` being a notable exception) now installs to `/usr/local` by default, check [`docs/PACKAGERS.md`](./docs/PACKAGERS.md).
+- Added a changelog.
+- Finally add proper (experimental) xorg support.
+- Systemd service install path changed to `/usr/local/lib/systemd`, there could be a leftover file at `/etc/systemd/system/lidm.service`.

+Kmscon is NOT officially supported so you are on your own when trying this, [according to the arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON#Window_managers_cannot_be_started_from_KMS_console) it's not possible to start window managers if you do this.

+But [according to farouk](https://github.com/javalsai/lidm/issues/91#issuecomment-3708503568) you can make it work if you tell kmscon to work in `no-drm` mode. There's still input grabbing issues which cause <kbd><kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd></kbd> to kill lidm, they are likely fixable though.

 This folder contains the files necessary to set up lidm on start up for the supported init systems, all of them are configured for tty7.

+If you're using lidm from a packaged source, this should be included with the package. Only read this for manual installations, if you are packaging or if your package exceptionally doesn't include them.
+
 If you don't know what a init system is, you're certainly using `systemd`.

 There's make scripts to automatically copy the service files to the proper locations, you just have to run `make install-service-$INIT` (or `make install-service-$INIT-etc`). `make install-service` will attempt to detect the init system in use and install for it.

 The manual steps for installation are:

+# Packages

-# Installing from Source
+Lidm relies on its community to package lidm for distributions and make the installation easier for everyone. Please raise any issues on the packages themselves and not the source repository.

-Firstly, you'll need to build the package, this also includes man pages, default config, themes and other files you might need.
+If you packaged lidm for any distribution not listed here or keep your own version of an inactive package, feel free to contact me to be added here. (could be a GitHub discussion or an email if you don't use GitHub)

-To build it you only need to have some basic packages (should come pre-installed in almost all distros): `make`, `gcc` or another `gcc`ish compiler, and libpam headers. If it builds, it surely works anyways.
+These packages just install lidm, once installed you have to enable it. It depends on your init system, but if you're using systemd (most likely), first find your currently active display manager (if any, examples are `sddm`, `gdm`, `ly`) and disable it:

 ```sh
-git clone https://github.com/javalsai/lidm.git
-cd lidm
-make # 👍
+systemctl disable <display manager name here>
 ```

-> [!NOTE]
-> There's pre-built binaries on the [releases tab](https://github.com/javalsai/lidm/releases) too.
-
-Then you can install the files onto your filesystem with:
+And then enable lidm:

 ```sh
-make install
+systemctl enable lidm
 ```

-And additionally, to install service files (start-up behavior). <sup>[more docs](../assets/services/README.md)</sup>
+Lidm now should show on the next boot!
+
+If you are on a TTY and don't wish to reboot, you should be able to use `--now` with both commands. It's likely to kill your current desktop environment if it was launched from it.
+
+## Void Linux
+
+Lidm can be installed from the official Void Linux packages:

 ```sh
-# automatically detects your init system
-# and install service file (for tty7)
-make install-service
-
-# or if you don't like autodetection
-make install-service-systemd # systemd
-make install-service-dinit # dinit
-make install-service-runit # runit (/etc/sv)
-make install-service-runit-etc # runit (/etc/runit/sv)
-make install-service-openrc # openrc
-make install-service-s6 # s6 (/etc/sv)
-make install-service-s6-etc # s6 (/etc/s6/sv)
-
-#  For runit and s6, some distros (e.g. Artix) like to put it in /etc/<init>/sv
-# to better isolate their packages while other distros (e.g. Void) just put it
-# in /etc/sv
+xbps-install lidm
 ```

-# AUR
+To enable the service that starts on boot:

-[AUR packages](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=lidm&SeB=n) will automatically install most files.
+```sh
+ln -s /etc/sv/lidm /var/service/
+```

-> [!CAUTION]
-> [service files](../assets/pkg/aur#services) have to be manually installed by now.
+It is recommended to disable any other display managers that are still enabled:

-# Nix Flake
+```sh
+touch /etc/sv/lightdm/down # replace lightdm with your previous display manager (e.g., sddm, gdm)
+```
+
+
+## Fedora
+
+Thanks to @KernelFreeze there's a COPR repo available at <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/celestelove/lidm/> to install lidm. (<https://github.com/javalsai/lidm/discussions/92>)
+
+## AUR
+
+There are several [AUR packages](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=lidm&SeB=n) for most things. You only need to install one of the following:
+
+* `lidm`
+* `lidm-bin`
+* `lidm-git`
+
+Each of those depend on `lidm-service` which is provided by `lidm-systemd` and `lidm-dinit` (you'll have to pick one). I maintain both but I'm open to anyone that actually uses systemd to take the first one.
+
+There's packagers needed for openrc, s6 and runit. If you know how to make AUR packages, feel free to take any of those if you use each init system.

+
+This will install mostly into `/usr/local` by default, this path is mostly unused nowadays (systemd can load services from it but man usually doesn't find manual pages in there) and could feel like lidm didn't install at all.
