hex hx binary clashes with helix hx wrapper

[almereyda]

In my system, I have also installed installed the helix editor.

• https://github.com/helix-editor/helix

It is currently not yet on Crates

• https://crates.io/crates/helix-editor
• https://crates.io/crates/helix-term

It provides a wrapper that uses the same binary name than hx, which therefore clashes.

Is there a way to assign another name to the binary during build, e.g. hex? Then choosing an abbreviated version remains as simple as creating a symlink.
