Beta 5 of "Prot's Dots For Debian" (PDFD)

This version contains some major adjustments compared to beta version 4.
The most noticeable one is the switch from `mate-terminal` to `xterm` as
the default terminal emulator.

Another important change is the modularisation of the SXHKD configs.
They are now splits into two files: one for actions that pertain to the
Window Manager and another for WM-independent commands.  Several key
chords have been reviewed as well.

Other issues include code fixes as well as the use of bold fonts for the
focused desktop on the panel as well as the focused window in the tmux
status line.  In general these two status areas try to have the same
"visual language" to keep things consistent.

Tempus Totus has been reviewed.  It now has improved contrast between
the accept values, while keeping its look and feel.  Overall, this is my
favourite among the light themes in the Tempus collection.

Last but not least, the `bin` directory now includes two new utilities
that may or may not be useful to other users: (i) `tmr` is a simple
timer that accepts an argument that represents a valid unit of time such
as 10m for 10 minutes or 60s for 60 seconds, and (ii) `clr` which prints
the contrast ratio between two colours defined in hexadecimal RGB
notation.
