Add link command to create versioned binaries

[dgomezferro]

This is useful for multiversion tests, but feel free to suggest alternative ways of doing it (for instance during installation)

$ ls ~/.local/bin -l
total 28
[...]

@dgomezferro FYI you can select an installed mongod/mongos/mongo version with m <binary> <version>:

m mongod 5.0  --version
db version v5.0.5

Would that work for your testing use case or would you prefer symlinks so you can test if a file exists?

You may also find the JSON output of installed versions and paths helpful for test integration: m lls --json.

Cheers, Stennie

@stennie I used this for multiversion tests, they expect multiple versions of the mongod binaries available in the PATH with format mongod-X.Y.

If the feature doesn't belong in m that's fine by me though. I've just learned about db-contrib-tool that should take care of setting up the environment for tests, haven't tried it yet though.
