Indrajit Raychaudhuri 1ff9421f7b general: Update documentation better qualifying runcom paths
Zsh and Prezto files don't always reside in `~/`. Instead, they have
a more spec compliant location (`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/`). Make them
unambiguous in the documentation. Likewise, for `$GNUPGHOME`.

Further, add instruction for optionally setting up Prezto in
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.

While at this, also add clarification on relative ordering of some of
the modules, apply more formatting tweaks and doc improvements.

# Wake-on-LAN
This module provides a wrapper around the [wakeonlan][1] tool.
## Usage
To use this wrapper, create the _`~/.wakeonlan`_ directory, and place in it one
file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give the file a name
that describes the device, such as its hostname.
Each file should contain a line with the MAC address of the target device and
the network broadcast address. For instance, there might be a file
_`~/.wakeonlan/leto`_ with the following contents:
```conf
00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255
```
To wake that device, use the following command:
```console
wake leto
```
For more information on the configuration file format, read the
[wakeonlan man page][2].
