Remove mention of aur package, it's been moved to extra repo #159

Thanks for the correction!

If j4-dmenu-desktop is now packaged, I think that the AUR build instructions could be dropped altogether. I believe they were provided because there was no other way to get j4-dmenu-desktop up and running on Arch (except building j4-dmenu-desktop manually). Now that it's possible, the non-AUR package should be preferred.

Users can still use the AUR version, but it isn't j4-dmenu-desktop's responsibility to document it, because neither I nor enkore hold responsibility over third party packages. I find documenting distribution packages in j4-dmenu-desktop's README dubious for this reason, but I'll leave it there because it's useful.

I definitely hear your argument, I've removed the AUR instructions as requested.

I do want to +1 keeping the packaging info section, as although a bit of a mixed bag I think it enables new user discoverability for a big part.
