Description

Once a new CLI name has been settled on in #130, rename the executable for both Windows and Mac builds, and update installers accordingly.

For Windows only, add in a new gvfs.exe that just redirects to the new CLI.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #130, since the new CLI name is not settled here. Then locate the Windows and Mac build and installer definitions and determine how the Windows redirect executable is produced. Done means the chosen name is used by both builds and installers, with the Windows-only gvfs.exe redirect included.
