Make install script safer
This changeset wraps all of the commands in tools/install.sh in a function and then calls that function as the last line of the script. The current install instructions ask the user to download the install script using `curl` and pass the result to `sh`. This is totally fine (as long as both the instructions and the script itself are served using HTTPS), but the script should be written in a way such that it doesn't start trying to actually *do* anything until the very last line. The reason is due to the way `curl` work: if the socket drops before the request is complete (server abruptly hangs up, client's internet flakes out, etc.), `curl` will return the partial data that it received. Here is an example of that: ![partial file execution](https://cldup.com/qU_Mnh2GmT.png) A way this might cause issues for tools/install.sh is if the connection drops after cloning but before the repository (L53-56). The .zshrc configuration will not be copied and the shell will not be changed, but if the user tries to run the install script again it will claim oh-my-zsh is already installed (L31-39). While this is not a particularly dangerous error condition (the user can just delete .oh-my-zsh and re-run), it can certainly be confusing for new users. This also helps future-proof the script for a time when it might need to use a "dangerous" command, e.g. `rm`, and we want to make sure it happens in the most transactional way possible.
