Add PKGBUILD and building instructions

[Hi-Angel]

Fixes: #215

---

Two points I'm not sure about:

1. Is putting PKGBUILD to the top dir okay?
2. Is pkg not being among deps in package.json an explicit decision, or an omission that needs to be fixed? In the latter case I'd add a commit that fixes this and would remove the explicit installation of pkg that is part of PKGBUILD and the Building from source sections (in this PR).

I don't see any problem with this. 🤔

For pkg, I think you need to install globally (npm i -g pkg) for it to function; hence, pkg isn't in the dependency list.

Hmm, I don't know if it's something recently introduced or what, but when I execute a npm -g list | grep pkg there's no output, hence no globally installed pkg. But npm run pkg-linux-x64 still works for me

Do you have pkg installed in dev dependencies? If it works, then we need to add pkg to dev dependencies. 🤔

I had it installed explicitly with npm i pkg, but since you asked I tested adding it to devDependencies (see this commit) and it works for me.

As part of the test I removed the repository completely, cloned it anew, and only did a npm i. Afterwards a npm run pkg-linux-x64 works for me. You can try it 😊

Btw, if you're okay with the change, what minimal version do you think should be written in package.json for pkg? I put a 5.0.0 for the moment since the current version in npm repo is 5.x.x, but it's completely arbitrary.

I wasn't really sure because it doesn't work on my machine (Windows), but I reckon there is something wrong with my settings. 🤔 And again, thank you for the tests and confirmation! 🚀 😁

^5.0.0 is good. It will default to install the latest version. 👍

Thanks for adding support for Arch Linux! You rock! 🥳

And thank you for maintaining the package! ❤️
