Description:
As seen in Bug#81187, there is no mysqlsh in the current server tarball.
I understand the reason: the shell is a preview and the server is GA.

However, exactly for the reason that the shell is alpha software I would like it to be customizable, so it won't be installed in a way that may affect the rest of my host.

What we need is a tarball that has the mysqlsh executables and library files in the paths that would occupy if they were shipped as GA together with the server. This would allow us to merge the two tarballs and run the experimental software with full control.

How to repeat:
Try installing mysqlsh in an user-controlled directory with the distribution packages currently provided.

The shell is currently distributed as a standalone package.
