Installation documentation incomplete

[ferenczy]

I'm running the latest oh-my-zsh on Zsh 5.8.1 on Ubuntu 21.04. I have installed the plugin using the zsh-syntax-highlighting DEB package as it's the most convenient method (rather than manually cloning a Git repo and keeping it up-to-date). Then, I have added zsh-syntax-highlighting to the plugins array in my .zshrc, but oh-my-zsh reported the plugin to be not found.

So I have checked the Install.md file, the Using packages section, but it doesn't mention anything else apart from the installation of the package itself.

So I have checked the content of the DEB package to find out, where's the plugin script file located (it's the directory /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/) and manually added the following line to the end of my .zshrc:

source /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

So, shouldn't be such information added to the Install.md file file? The installation wasn't straightforward (at least for a regular user) and it required compilation of information from various sources, even though, my method (running oh-my-zsh and installing the package using the DEB package) is probably the most common, I would say.

Agreed that the sentence about "directing [one's] users to add [that 'source' statement] to their .zshrcs" is applicable to all installation methods (except distros that install a /etc/zshrc.d/zsh-syntax-highlighting thingy, if they exist) and should be moved in INSTALL.md accordingly.

I think the package's README.Debian file documents this too.

Excuse brevity.

I think #830 covers this. If so I think it's timed out on the original contributor, so I'll just rebase to one commit myself.
