[Bug]: missing "Open Alacritty here" context menu entry

[jenbroek]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

alacritty

Expected/Current Behaviour

There is no context menu entry added after installing, unlike Alacritty's own installer¹ does.

I would expect there to be a bundled registry file the user gets notified about when installing Alacritty, so they can import it afterwards to add the context menu entry.

Steps to Reproduce

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install extras/alacritty

Possible Solution

Looking at other manifests, like Windows Terminal², I believe the following is needed:

• install-context.reg and uninstall-context.reg files
• post_install and pre_uninstall hooks
• notes for informing the user about the install-context.reg file

See: #12997
