docs: stop pointing Alloy users at a multiplexer that is not shipped The non-goal was right and the pointer was wrong. Alloy ships neither tmux nor zellij, and STACK.md's line is that panes are sway's job, so "Use tmux/zellij" sent the reader of shop's own README looking for two binaries that are not on the image it ships as the default terminal on. shop is standalone-usable, so "sway's job" is not right for this README either. Say both: a window is a window, sway does it on Alloy, bring your own elsewhere.
