//google-cloud-sdk:PKGBUILD should pick a singular location for executables

The PKGBUILD could be refactored to remove this block altogether, and the package would still work as expected. This is something that should happen, but hasn't been a priority as it won't actually change the package in any meaningful way.

Originally posted by @sudoforge in #18 (comment)

We should clean up the block that creates some symlinks in /usr/bin (or, conversely, remove the need for /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin to be in PATH). This creates a divide in the "real" path to executables, as is confusing to new users (see #18).

commented

Are we only adding /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin to PATH via google-cloud-sdk.sh in order to add the executables which aren't symlinked to /usr/bin? If so, we should probably prefer creating symlinks (if this is necessary) for all executables to /usr/bin, and removing the PATH extension from google-cloud-sdk.sh.
