Remove unused binary + establish distribution list of programs

[morgo]

Feature Description

Currently Vitess produces a lot of binaries, which presumably aren't all used. There is one infact called unused, which appears in the packages we distribute:

-rwxrwxr-x 1 morgo morgo 8.0M May 28 14:11 unused

We should establish a list of supported programs that need to be distributed in rpms/debs/tarballs and make it consistent. Here is my understanding of where the binaries fall:

# don't distribute

Per this discussion, we can probably remove vtqueryserver. CC @demmer

I am going to settle on shipping the following binaries:

mysqlctl mysqlctld query_analyzer topo2topo vtaclcheck vtbackup vtbench vtclient vtcombo vtctl vtctlclient vtctld vtexplain vtgate vttablet vtworker vtworkerclient zk zkctl zkctld vttestserver

The packaging will be built in #5463 -- I have started working on it. I am just waiting on #5527 to merge before attempting to create a PR on it.

Once the packaging is built, we can create a beta release to allow users to test and report any missing programs they depended on. Feedback welcome of course!

[derekperkins]

Can we add vttestserver to that list?

Yes. Thanks for the feedback.
