A user recently asked where to find Alacritty's default config on NixOS
[1], since we don't have `/usr/share/doc/` (which is where other
operating systems, like Arch, install it). Now it can be accessed by
building alacritty and referring to `result/share/doc/alacritty.yml`.

patchelf seems to generate an ELF that "strip" cannot process:
strip: /tmp/stNGAZvd: not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
strip:/tmp/stNGAZvd[.interp]: bad value
(This unfortunately does not cause any errors or even error output in
the build log, since the default strip hook redirects them to /dev/null
and ignores failures.)
The lack of stripping ends up leaking paths to the compiler in the debug
symbols. This more than doubles the transitive closure size of
alacritty.
Impact on closure size: 314.5M -> 131.8M.
* alacritty now has its own org, so I changed the URLs to point there
* updated the description to match upstream's description
* formatted with nixpkgs-format
Changes the default fetcher in the Rust Platform to be the newer
`fetchCargoTarball`, and changes every application using the current default to
instead opt out.
This commit does not change any hashes or cause any rebuilds. Once integrated,
we will start deleting the opt-outs and recomputing hashes.
See #79975 for details.

Based on popular demand I decided to upgraded alacritty from my own fork.
We currently also have a version in staging that works without but we
cannot easily backport this one because it relies on some changes in the rust
build infrastructure
