Description

## Problem being solved
Each machine uses a different os/arch, so we need a different binary running. npx/npm was built for portable software, so we have to come up with a solution for using npx along with gitwho.

## Proposal
We already have different os/arch combinations published as different packages in npm. Enhance the base gitwho package to make an automatic binary installation of the appropriate binary.
