Support native google-java-format executables

[vorburger]

In google/google-java-format#1045 I'm working on making "native" (non java -jar google-java-format*.jar) binaries available. If that's accepted, those should start to appear on https://github.com/google/google-java-format/releases in the future.

It will initially be for Linux only; perhaps Mac and Windows (will be contributed by others) later.

It would be very cool if this VSC extension could check if it runs on a platform for which a native binary is available, and download and invoke that! (Once it's available for download, of course.)

@vorburger I have verified the native binary is executed correctly in windows and wsl. can you verify it on mac?

Thanks for implementing this so fast!

I have just verified it on Linux and the DL works great - it would only need #20 to "just work out of the box".

For Mac the binary should be OK, because I know that a work colleague of mine (@cushon) has tested and fixed it, but I think it may need the same missing chmod +x after you download it as on Linux (#20).

I've posted about how I'm happy to have enabled this:

"Formatting completed in 45ms." instead of 473ms previously...

That x10 is actually noticeable on Ctrl-S Save a *.java, even on a fast computer - very cool!
