xdg-terminal-exec use alacritty to open Terminal=true desktop entries

After uninstall gnome-console, apps desktop entries with Terminal=true
can't be opened with a terminal any more. In the past, those are opened
with gnome console. The reason is it hardcoded some terminals and
there's not alacritty, see [0]. This url [1] wrote that this commit [2]
now support using other terminals using xdg-terminal-exec wrapper. As
describe in the commit, this is only temporary solution, a proper
solution is xdg-default-apps specification see [3] which does not seem
to making any progress. The xdg-terminal-exec wrapper way works great
and enough for me tho.
