Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible
defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with
other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it
manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance.
Although this project works both on Wayland and X11, it is for now only
enabled with Wayland support.

Running the command "make alacritty-legal-info"
reports license hash failures.
Could you fix those license hash please?

Testing this package with "test-pkg -a -p alacritty" reports few build
failures. See:
https://gitlab.com/jolivain/buildroot/-/pipelines/2814538626
Could you have a look please?
