Fixes #967.

The Arch Linux package (both \community/zsh-syntax-highlighting\ and the git flavor) installs to /usr/share/zsh/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/, not /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/\ as the generic 'most Linux distributions' instructions say -- verified against the package's current file listing on archlinux.org rather than just trusting the report.

Added a dedicated Arch Linux bullet alongside the existing NetBSD/OpenBSD and Homebrew ones, in both places INSTALL.md gives the distro-specific source path (the \echo >> .zshrc\ one-liner section and the 'add manually' section).
