Looking at the getting-started page of the docs, because everything
is in terms of pyoxidizer run it's not obvious how to actually
lay hands on the single executable file that PyOxidizer produces.
Here's one example of a puzzled would-be user:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pyoxidizer-users/rUyM3iTpZq0

Fix that by breaking up the first example into pyoxidizer build
and then an explicit invocation of the built executable.

(Also a smaller preparatory commit.)

This is what it looks like for me with the v0.2.0 release (modulo
adjusting the project's root directory to follow the example.)

Various other bits of output in examples have also changed.  But
it'd be a lot of work to update them all comprehensively, and I
think better to update piecemeal than not at all.
