Add a helper to automatically generate bin helpers for "binaries" installed in the php vendor folder

When running environment on a host, there are tons of issues with configurations fucking up your PATH so we cant properly initialize our path to make the helpers available.

When we have an environment container we could run tmux in there or your preferred tool with your own configuration via volumes. If the environment gets access to the hosts docker we can still run everything next to it and avoid issues with the helpers and path issues.

This will also result in a uniform environment accross systems (Linux, macOS, Windows could become supported).

It will get one drawback that the isolation will reduce the use of your system binaries for other work like git inside the environment. As a user you could still work around it but it will become more tedious to do.

Some custom helpers (like create_db or mysqlimport) should have some form of help on how to use the command.

1. Distribution via tarballs
   We can tag releases and provide fully configured and prepared tarballs with the default bin scripts available in the tarballs by utilizing a build script of some sort.

2. Distribution via checkout
   We can provide a install script and have that as a requirement for using the compose environments

3. Distribution via generator
   Allow some customization to be done via a webinterface and provide a downloadable target for endusers.
