Indrajit Raychaudhuri d80e393f78 general: Reformat documentation with better formatting and wording 
General purpose reformating and rewording in (a few places). This should
also make markdown linting happier.

Prefer back-ticks wherever useful and use `console` for code blocks to
be executed on terminal.

Also, update references links wherever possible (including update from
'http://' to 'https://').

Pacman

Provides aliases and functions for the Pacman package manager and frontends.

Settings

It is possible to use a Pacman frontend with the pacman aliases provided by this package as long as that frontend supports the same command line options (The AUR Helpers page has a good comparison which lists if the command line options are pacman compatible).

Please note that installing packages with an AUR Helper is not officially supported by Archlinux. It is currently recommended to manually build AUR packages using the provided instructions. The aurutils project has a set of small utilities to make this easier.

To enable a Pacman frontend, add the following line to ~/.zpreztorc, substituting pacman_frontend with the name of the frontend:

zstyle ':prezto:module:pacman' frontend 'pacman_frontend'
