Adds two new commands, `swiftly unlink` and `swiftly link`, which will disable and reenable swiftly's management of the active toolchain. The `unlink` command removes the symlinks to toolchain binaries in the swiftly bin directory that is in the user's path. This allows the rest of the `$PATH` to be searched for available toolchain installations, falling back to the system default. On macOS with Xcode installed this has the effect of falling back to the toolchain in the user's installed Xcode. The `link` command reinstates the symlinks to the `inUse` toolchain, which allows swiftly to resume management of the active toolchain.
