pyenv-binary: add experimental plugin skeleton

Adds a new plugin, decoupled from `pyenv install`, for packaging and installing
relocatable Python binaries. This commit is just the command dispatcher; the
individual subcommands follow.

`pyenv binary <command>` dispatches to the matching script under the plugin's
libexec, so subcommands stay out of the top-level `pyenv commands` list.

Groundwork for the binary distribution support discussed in #2334.

# pyenv-binary (experimental)
Package an installed Python version into a relocatable archive that can be
installed on another machine.
This is experimental and intentionally decoupled: it does not change
`pyenv install` or any other command. You drive it explicitly through
`pyenv binary`. Run `pyenv binary <command> --help` for details on a command.
## Portability
An archive is portable across machines that share its build platform (OS,
architecture and a compatible libc) and have the recorded system libraries. It
is not portable across, say, glibc and musl, or to an older glibc; the platform
and dependency metadata exist to catch that.

# Summary: Package an installed Python version as a relocatable binary (experimental)
#
# Usage: pyenv binary <command> [<args>]
#
# `pyenv binary` packages an already-installed Python version into a relocatable
# archive that can be installed on another machine. It is experimental and does
# not touch `pyenv install' or any other command.
#
# Run `pyenv binary' to list its commands, or `pyenv binary <command> --help'
# for command-specific help.
