PSA: Project rename

[Eugeny]

📢 The next release will come with a new name - Terminus becomes Tabby.

There are multiple reasons for this:

• Terminus is too close to Termius - a commercial terminal app. This causes a number of users to end up on our issue tracker when they're actually looking for help with Termius - it's better to cover your butt before the lawsuit comes than regret it later.
• There's another terminal app that's literally called "Terminus" and is packaged under this name at least in Debian and Ubuntu repos.
• It just rolls off the tongue better 🐱

---

Update: the new release will be up in a few hours.

Good to know:

• After upgrade, your config file will be automatically copied to the new data directory (see https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/wiki/Config-file)
• Plugins will keep working as-is
• I'll publish new versions of my own plugins under new names

Plugin developers:

• New API packages will be released under new names (tabby-*) - you'll only need to update your package.json if you'll need to use new APIs.
• To make sure that your plugin stays discoverable in the future, replace the terminus-plugin keyword with tabby-plugin in package.json
• A newer tabby-* package will be treated as an upgrade to the corresponding terminus-* package.
• Installed plugins named tabby-* will override the corresponding terminus-* plugins.

The website links/name/contents at https://eugeny.github.io/tabby/ need updating now too.

This is good news. It was rather frustrating having to freeze the package so I could update my system without overwriting it if I installed it via deb in order to get the typical/better overall system experience of having a .desktop entry, icons, etc.

Finally I don't have to rename the deb package anymore! Also the name similarity between termius and terminus is how I discovered this terminal in the first place

ok, fine, I just recommended "Terminus" to my friend
but you know , the first item is "Termius" in google and he didn't know it ...

minor QoL thing; Can the windows .exe be named "Tabby Terminal" so that windows search can still pick it up as an option while searching for "term"
