javalsai 978aaad199 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

Service Files

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:

Systemd

Copy systemd.service to /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/lidm.service (if the directory doesn't exist, create it first) or /usr/lib/systemd/system/lidm.service (if you wish to install along your system files).
To enable it you can run systemctl enable lidm

Dinit

Copy dinit to /etc/dinit.d/lidm
To enable it, run dinitctl enable lidm

Runit

Your runit service path can be either /etc/runit/sv or /etc/sv.

Copy runit/ to runit-path/lidm/
Add the service with ln -s runit-path/lidm /run/runit/service
And to enable it sv enable lidm

OpenRC

Copy openrc to /etc/init.d/lidm
Enable the service with rc-update add lidm

S6

Your S6 service path can be either /etc/s6/sv or /etc/sv.

Copy s6/ to s6-path/lidm/
Add the service with s6-service add default lidm
Reload the database with s6-db-reload (you might have to run this every time the service file changes)

Warning

Make sure to disable any other service that might run on tty7, such us lightdm or most display managers out there.
