Kaleb Elwert e32a96be72 pacman: Simplify support for AUR helpers 
There are a number of things happening here.

- Extra support for yaourt has been removed
- Docs have been updated to explicitly call out that AUR helpers are not
  officially supported
- aurutils has been suggested to make common operations easier
- A utility function called aurget (similar to aurfetch from aurutils)
  has been added to make cloning AUR repos easier.

Fixes #1531

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 aurtools 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 frontent:

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