Add more info about Lutris installers #5

Hi! Do you think it would be possible to cover Lutris a bit more? It currently has both Origin and Universal installers for the game which automatically use a patched version of Wine for it along with installing mods that fix issues with shadows and thumbnails. I think people might prefer using them over manually applying patches and compiling stuff.

Hi, this repository does mainly focuses on vanilla Wine, since the end goal would be to see it running without needing source modifications (we'll be able to post reports to WineHQ's AppDB when that happens)

Compiling the source isn't required, the Releases page has some pre-compiled builds of Wine that can be used right away (/bin/wine) or imported into a frontend like PlayOnLinux.

That said, I'm happy if someone would like to create a pull request to add another markdown file (lutus.md) talking more specifically about Lutris' installers. I've never actually used Lutris nor have I tried the Origin version of the game.

Now that there is a new README structure in place, feel free to add instructions for Lutris (README-Lutris.md) if you still feel further coverage is needed. :ok_hand:
