Installing in Termux

[b9Joker108]

I noted that xplr has not been well-tested in Termux, but I tried to install it anyway, but no success:

I don't use cargo much, so am not really aware of its ins and outs. I am disappointed that xplr didn't install.

Thanks for reporting. Termux keeps breaking. Will remove the section.

I am very disappointed. I just tried again, for the hell of it. Still no success.

I have removed the termux section from the docs, since maintaining termux support is proving to be a burden. Termux enthusiasts overlapping xplr users are welcome to package xplr in the termux repo.
