Download tar instead of zip archive when installing nerd-fonts.

[meinzer1899]

In release v3.0.2 (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.0.2), the release archives are also provided as .tar.xz which results in a size decrease of ~90%. zi can handle both tar and zip archives.

@ reviewer:

• is it possible to extract the .ttf to a directory in /fonts which matches the font name, e.g. .../font/Meslo with using the id from id-as like this

zi ice if"[[ -d ${HOME}/.fonts/ttf ]] && [[ $OSTYPE = linux* ]]" \
  .....
  atclone="rm -f *Windows*; mv -vf *.ttf ${HOME}/.fonts/ttf/${id}; fc-cache -v -f" atpull"%atclone"
  .....

instead of

   atclone="rm -f *Windows*; mv -vf *.ttf ${HOME}/.fonts/ttf; fc-cache -v -f" atpull"%atclone"

@meinzer1899 I will do triage and update you on this 👍

After trying out multiple scenarios, I concluded that the install command becomes long and complex. From user feedback and related conversations, it became clear that Zi is over-engineered and has become too complex for the majority. I think the best route to continue is to simplify and promote the creation of Zsh plugins, Zi annexes and Zi packages. This is relatively easy, super flexible, and can be used/improved by others.

I think the best approach for installing fonts would be to create an annex, which would allow an easy, reliable, and flexible way to install fonts. Users would be able to install the font(s) using an annex with atclone, atpull, atinit, and atload hooks, which would do the rest when it is required and what is required. For example, the installation of fonts would look like this:

zi font'Meslo'
zi light z-shell/0
