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.
