  Description     : verifies/downloads ethereum client binaries

evacuated-ethereum-client-binaries is a version of ethereum-client-binaries which 
has been evacuated from NSA/Microsoft github.

Ethereum is a global, decentralized platform for money and new kinds of applications. 
On Ethereum, you can write code that controls money, and build applications accessible anywhere 
in the world.

geth is an ethereum client.  What is being downloaded is a binary form of geth, though
on other platforms other clients may be grabbed.

ethereum-client-binaries downloads and verifies you have geth ( #890541 ) installed in a way,
for example, that mist ( #827314 ) can use.

It is plausible that mist could be hard-coded to just use the geth on the system, but this is
the way that mist is designed right now, so here we are.
