Add separate logic for extracting binary archives #403

Open postmodern opened 3 years ago

postmodern commented 3 years ago

There could be short-circuit logic which handles binary archives differently from source archives. Binary archives, such as those released by JRuby and TruffleRuby, could be directly extracted into the installation directory. This would also save disk space, since ruby-install would no longer extract the archive and then copy it into the installation directory.
