Subject: [PATCH] pyenv-binary: add the `save` subcommand

`pyenv binary save <version> [<output-dir>]` packs an installed version into a
relocatable .tar.gz with relative paths and writes a metadata file recording the
build platform, distro, libc version and the external system libraries the
build links against (via `ldd` on Linux, `otool -L` on macOS).

+Packs an installed version into `<version>-<platform>.tar.gz` (relative paths)
+and writes `<version>-<platform>.meta` describing the build platform (OS, arch,
+distro and libc version) and the system libraries the build links against.
