Installation script

This shell script does the following:

1. If no version was specified via the command line, scrape the HTML of the project repository's releases page to determine the latest version.
2. Download appropriate version and architecture of the application from Arduino's download server.
3. Extract the downloaded archive to the appropriate location.
4. Notify the user if the installation is not in their $PATH.
