Description

Most of our client tools can be installed by a user without root. The Python stuff is relatively easy in a virtualenv. The CLI SDK follows the same pattern, although it's less familiar to our users.

We don't provide an easy, documented way to do this for arvados-client. Users can download an appropriate package and just extract the binary from it, but that's advanced and we shouldn't ask users to do it.

Publish binaries that users can just download and drop in ~/.local/bin or whatever. Other Go tools do this, like age and yq. Document these downloads on the tools pages.
