tracker: Allow extending the CLI tool with additional subcommands
We still link all the builtin tools in a single binary, and create specific
links in $libexecdir/tracker/. External subcommands may install their binaries
on $libexecdir/tracker right away.
During (sub)command execution, the tracker binary will look for the proper
subcommand and execve it. As the same tracker binary implements those same
subcommands, it does check argv[0] to know if it is running as one of those
subcommands. This keeps a single binary around, but allows transparently
falling back to other executables.
