Indrajit Raychaudhuri 515d70f639 utility: Add support for 'aria2c' in 'get' alias
`get` alias now supports `aria2c` via optional `zstyle`.

To configure `aria2c` to be used for `get`, use:
zstyle -s ':prezto:module:utility:download' helper 'aria2c'

Note that we still fall back to `curl` when the desired download helper
isn't available.

# Utility
Defines general aliases and functions.
This module must be loaded _before_ the [_`completion`_][1] module so that the
provided completion definitions are loaded automatically by _`completion`_
module.
**Note:** Some of the utilities configured in this module might be provided via
GNU utilities with incompatible arguments on non-GNU systems. In such cases,
using [_`gnu-utility`_][2] module is recommended and it must be loaded
_before_ this module.
To elaborate, the relative order of loading the modules would be
_`gnu-utility`_, _`utility`_ and _`completion`_.
## Settings
### Highlighting
If you have enabled color globally in _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_, you may
disable it selectively for certain commands.
To disable `ls` color, add the following to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_.
When coloring is disabled, type indicators (`\*`, `/`, `=>`, `@`, `=`, `|`, `%`)
will be appended to entries.
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:ls' color 'no'
```
To disable GNU coreutils `ls` to list directories grouped first, add the
following line to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:ls' dirs-first 'no'
```
To disable `grep` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:grep' color 'no'
```
To disable `diff` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:diff' color 'no'
```
To disable `wdiff` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:wdiff' color 'no'
```
To disable `make` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:make' color 'no'
```
### Download Helper
To configure the download helper to be used with alias `get`, add the following
to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_, and replace `'<helper>'` with `'curl'`,
`'wget'` or `'aria2c'`.
```sh
zstyle -s ':prezto:module:utility:download' helper '<helper>'
```
