Rearrange packages so "arv" runs a Go program that shells out to Python/Ruby code only if needed

Description

We have (#12876) a packaged "arvados-client" program that does everything "arv" does. It shells out to "arv" depending on the subcommand.

We need to rearrange packaging so that
  • typing "arv" actually runs the arvados-client program
  • when arvados-client shells out to ruby, this still works even though "arv" will now be arvados-client itself
  • arvados-client and arvados-cli packages can be upgraded past this point in any order

This might (?) mean adding a copy of the arvados-client binary to the arvados-cli package as /usr/bin/arv.
