Add note about OS package managers #464

Closed benthillerkus closed 2 years ago

If your package manager has JetUML in its repos, getting the software that way may be preferable to manually downloading and updating it.

I've been maintaining a build script for the thin jar on the AUR for two years.[^1]

It seems there was also work on getting JetUML onto flathub #433, so imo it'd be useful to list these places in the docs.

[^1]: Basically this means that users of Arch based Distros can get JetUML like any other package. On installation, a script downloads the latest jar from your GitHub releases and creates desktop shortcuts and scripts that will call Java with the correct parameters to launch the app.

Good idea, and thank you for this contribution.
