Subject: [PATCH] Add MesloLGS font config steps for Alacritty (#929)

* Add MesloLGS font config steps for Alacritty

* Adding Alacritty font config changes

Shortened steps and included official doc.

* Simplified and updated Alacritty font config steps

Required YAML included in full. Quotes added to font family due to space in family name. Unnecessary detail has been removed.

* Reduced the required Alacritty font config YAML

Removed additional styles from the "MesloLGS NF" family, they are implied and not necessary to include.
