[GH 2874] Fix category for deb and clairfy directory information in README for linux (#2884)

Browse source 
* Remove expliced category from deb

The expliced category value for deb is not correct. The linux section
has a correct category value and deb is part of its target. So the
category from linux should be applied if there is no expliced one in the
deb section.
Issue: mattermost/desktop#2874

* Linux README: clarify where to find directory

Change the example directory to the path, where it is at a deb
installation. Add a hint that a reader in a local README already
found the correct directory.

If you installed the application via a package manager, it's ready to use in your system. Please follow the [User Guide](#user-guide) for further information.
Otherwise, first locate the extracted directory in your desired directory (e.g. `/opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>`) and follow the steps below.

### Desktop launcher
Execute the script file to create a `Mattermost.desktop` file.
```
/opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/create_desktop_file.sh
/opt/mattermost-desktop/create_desktop_file.sh
```
Then move it to the appropriate directory of your desktop environment. For example, on Ubuntu Unity it's `~/.local/share/applications/` for the current user.

Set a `PATH` environment variable to enable launching from the terminal. For example, you can append the following line into `~/.bashrc`.
```sh
# assuming that /opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/mattermost-desktop is the executable file.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>
# assuming that /opt/mattermost-desktop/mattermost-desktop is the executable file.
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mattermost-desktop
```
Alternatively, you can also create a symbolic link for the application.
```sh
sudo ln -s /opt/mattermost-desktop-<VERSION>/mattermost-desktop /usr/local/bin/
sudo ln -s /opt/mattermost-desktop/mattermost-desktop /usr/local/bin/
```
You're now all set! See the [User Guide](#user-guide) below for instructions.
