Investigate downloading binaries (instead of including) & reusing existing ones on the path #4555

we currently include binaries in the extension. We should look into downloading them at runtime and maybe even use binaries that exist on the path.

Might be worth looking back on https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-openshift-tools/issues/1227 , https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-openshift-tools/issues/10 . Is the goal here to reduce the extension size ? Or do you want a given release to be usable without having to upgrade (to one that has the proper embedded version). If so, is there evidence that users aren't mainly just upgrading to latest release ?
