Loosely based on @cbracken's original dvm shell script. Thanks Chris!

- Use SHA256 to validate the download.
- Support installing from a local path.

- Use system installed unzip if available.
Dart is already a cross-platform language, and binaries can be easily installed
using pub global activate. I'm also hoping that being in Dart makes
it more likely to get contributions from other Dart users!
One potential issue that was pointed out is the possibility of using dvm to
switch to a version of the SDK that in turn, breaks dvm. That's a valid
concern, so when releasing dvm it will ship with its own version of the Dart
VM, similar to dart-sass.
