Add option to install without building.#2135

This allows the build action to be decoupled from the install action, so packaging systems that expect to be able to do discrete installation steps post-build can do so cheaply, without having to effectively start the build over from scratch. To match existing behavior, this defaults to being disabled. I have not added this to the macOS branch because I am unable to test the behavior. This behavior was introduced in other projects that use a similar build-script-helper pattern: see swiftlang/swift-package-manager#9050, swiftlang/sourcekit-lsp#2579, swiftlang/swift-format#1171, and swiftlang/swift-docc#1486.
