Pursue Official Packaging and Distribution as ProXPN-CLI #16

Now that operation of this script can be completely non-interactive and we have an install script, it would be nice for folks to be able to easily install this using system based package managers. Ideally we could pursue:

[ ] Debian (and by auto-import Ubuntu)
[ ] Arch (cause that's what I'm running)
[ ] Homebrew

I'm not opposed to supporting RHEL distros but don't know anything about the packaging process. Are there other package managers we should support?

In service of the homebrew package: https://github.com/MattSurabian/homebrew-tap

NPM? :D I honestly don't know why there are so many after each OS has their own, but there's another suggestion.

I made some test packages for Fedora and el7, available at https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/opuk/proxpn-bash-client/

I very much want to pick up this effort again and think it should be this project's top priority going forward

I have a working .deb compiled but there are some usability implications I'm working through that could involve a change to repo structure.
