Neofetch 2.0

This is the biggest release of Neofetch in a long time. 97 files were changed with 2700~ additions to 2900~ deletions. Although the changelog isn't as interesting this time majority of the script has been rewritten, restructered and cleaned up. Every function and variable name follows a proper naming scheme and a large number of bugs were fixed.

The ascii file handling was rewritten, ascii art is now stored/read as plain text! All eval usage was removed from Neofetch, vim fold markers/comments are no longer enforced and we now run on GNU Hurd, Haiku and more.

When I was rewriting parts of the script I thought to myself; Neofetch is using the bash shebang and does depend on bash so why not take full advantage of the features bash has to offer? All tests were changed from [ to [[, arithmetic tests now use (()) and C style for loops are used where possible.

All of the config file documentation was rewritten and multiple wiki pages were created to hopefully make using/configuring neofetch easier than ever before. You can see the wiki here: Neofetch Wiki

Some of the config options/arguments were renamed/changed and neofetch will warn you on run if you're using deprecated options (neofetch -v). For this release neofetch will include backwards compatibility with the old config file but I'd like to remove this stuff in 2.1. I recommend using this release with a fresh config file so that you can make use of the new documentation.

I say this every release; This changelog is incomplete, for a full list of changes take a look through the commit history. Neofetch now has an unspoken commit style so reading the commit history won't hurt as much as it used to.

Thanks to all of the contributors this time around, you guys are a big help and I really appreciate your work towards making Neofetch better and better each release. :)
