let `cargo install` accept the desired binary with the `--bin` flag.

[DrRuhe]

Problem

When working with projects that contain multiple binaries, cargo run and cargo build require the user to specify which binary they want via the --bin flag.

cargo install however ignores this flag completely, and asks the user to specify the binary they want when running cargo install --bin name

Proposed Solution

Accept a binary selection via the --bin flag

Notes

The Error message is not very helpful:

error: multiple packages with binaries found: binary-one, binary-two. When installing a git repository, cargo will always search the entire repo for any Cargo.toml. Please specify which to install.

The same issue. Only happens with --git.

I ran into the same issue, where --bin would be ignored when I also specify --git.
