polybar: Fix padding
It turns out that the left padding from the bspwm labels are used in
addition to the left padding from polybar, so in order for padding to be
consistent across both the left and right sections, the section with the
bspwm module needs to have its padding subtracted by the amount used by
the bspwm labels.

polybar: Set foreground to background-alt by default
Since basically everything uses background-alt, it's easier to make
each module inherit this property instead.

polybar: Don't distinguish between empty desktops
Time will tell whether or not I keep this, but one less color makes
it easier to seamlessly integrate the bar with different color schemes.

With this change, the interface is also arguably cleaner.

polybar: Show title of focused window at center
It turns out that showing the window title is very useful for actually
using the window manager, especially with no visual indicator through
window borders to determine which one is selected.

meta: Add git branch information to fish prompt
If I stayed on zsh instead of switch to fish, I would've probably never
known how easy it is to add certain information to the prompt. Since
the prompt itself is just a function, you can run any commands you want
inside it to get information, including git commands.

This commit adds the current branch you're on only when inside a git
repository, and only when you're not in a tty.

polybar: Remove border width and window gap by default
Realistically, you use a window manager to take up all the available
space on a screen. Borders and gaps are counter-intuitive in this
regard.

Since polybar has a module that shows the title of the focused window,
using a border width even in gapless mode is no longer necessary. This
also works conveniently well with bspwm's monocle desktop layout, which
will also inherit the no-border no-gaps methodology and take up all the
available screen space.

polybar: Remove the no bar option
It turns out that polybar is able to provide very useful information for
window management in bspwm, so much so that disabling the bar completely
wouldn't make sense.

Since there's already a way to hide the bar (with a sxhkd keybind), and
since a "no bar" option would break this functionality even though the
hidden bar keybind produces the same result, it makes sense to remove
this.

gtk: Only show menu decoration
This removes the minimize, maximize, and close buttons from GTK
applications, since we don't use them under bspwm anyway.

Note that Qt applications should already do this, no configuration
necessary.

gtk: Remove cursor theme size
The cursor theme size is set based on the X cursor size, which itself is
based on the X DPI.

Note that (as far as I know) there is no easy way to change the X cursor
size without restarting the X session with the new DPI.

meta: Refactor install scripts
Lots of changes here with the goal of streamlining the installation
process. The install scripts work very well now, although there are
still some final changes that I would like to make (notably the removal
of the unzip requirement and the inclusion of more options to automate
the process even further).

archlinux: Add polkit to initial package list
The polkit package is used to let unprivileged users run certain
commands. With it, it is possible to run system commands such as
`poweroff` and `reboot` with an unprivileged user.

Traditionally, only privileged users have access to power management,
but for many desktop setups, you may want to let unprivileged users
perform operations such as shutdown the machine if no other users
are logged in.

meta: Add xeventbind package
This is an X-specific script that changes (mostly) everything that needs
to be changed on resolution change, with the exception of X cursor size.

Note that any programs already running are not affected. For this kind
of functionality, you probably want to use Wayland instead.

archlinux: Fix HiDPI font for virtual console
It turns out the font that I was setting before didn't actually do
anything. This is the real way to double the font size in your virtual
console, particularly useful for HiDPI displays, since your tty does not
know about your X DPI.

archlinux: Finalize install.sh
This should work, although I haven't tested it yet.

In the future it may be easier to simply download the other install
scripts from this install script. That way we solve the problem of
having to unzip this entire repository in the installation image.

I initially created tari-util as a package to be pre-built and installed
