Document the path for users who want Imgur upload back after v13.1.0 #4865

Feature Description

Context

I've been using Flameshot for years and the Imgur upload feature was one of my most-used workflows. After updating to v13.1.0, I noticed the button is gone and spent some time figuring out why.

I found the discussion in #4191 and understand the reasoning behind disabling it by default for privacy reasons. I also respect the decision to deprecate it in favor of a future plugin system.

My question

Since the feature is now opt-in via compilation flag, I'd like to know:

Is there any official or community-maintained distribution channel (Homebrew tap, APT repo, etc.) that provides pre-built binaries with USE_IMGUIR=ON enabled?

I'm aware I can compile from source, but for users who aren't comfortable with that (or who want to avoid re-granting accessibility permissions on macOS after a manual build), it would be helpful to have a clear reference.

Suggestions

I'm happy to contribute to the documentation if needed. A small section in the README or on the website with:

The exact cmake command to enable Imgur

Links to any community builds (if they exist)

A note about which package managers allow compile-time flags

This would help users like me who rely on this feature while respecting the maintainers' decision to keep it disabled by default.
