Subject: Add `cargo deb` build instructions

Updated the `Cargo.toml` file and added a `package.metadata.deb`
subsection to define how to build a debian "deb" install file using
`cargo deb`. This will allow debian/ubuntu users to install `alacritty`
using their system's package manager. It also will make it easier to
provide pre-built binaries for those systems.

Also fixed a stray debug line in the bash autocomplete script that was
writting to a tempfile.
