The origin of Fractal

This project is based on Fest https://github.com/fest-im/fest, formerly called ruma-gtk.

Instead of using RUMA Client, Fractal calls directly to the matrix.org REST API.

The first version of this project was called guillotine, based on French revolution, in relation with the Riot client name, but it's a negative name so we decide to change for a math one.

The name Fractal was proposed by Regina Bíró.
