Enhancements + Fixes (#41)

* Signal does seem good after all.

* Add alias `here` which shows details of everything in the current location.

* Move instant messengers to consistently be at the end of the favorites bar.

* Change to single quotes so that the pwd is per-call instead of per-source.

* Specify the video codec so that the command works on openSUSE.

* Refactor so that there is a shared/common fact list.

* Add ffmpeg as a package variable.

* Reformat long comment.

* New file for installing package manager apps for workstations.

* Call the workstation package manager tasks.

* Change to parenthesis to look better.

* Explicitly add a video flag, add recursive searching, fix a bug with -f ignoring input.

* Add ability to "force" the compression, deletes old files and regenerates them. Input is now passed with i rather than f for file/folder. f is now used for force.

* Fix skipping the file if it's already compressed. Enhance readability of log text.
