[nit] Recommend moving this down to the bottom of the readme. A customer who wants to use this can just download the binary, so the docs about how to use it are way more important than how to build it IMO.

IMO, this really ought to be a part of Ficus. Being able to just instruct the CLI to do this is a better user-experience than "please download this bin from GH."
This PR is totally fine, I'm just saying we should have that as future work item in this list IMO.

Overview
Cortez and I are working with a customer that would benefit from having our internal
rendergraphtool being public; this PR adds it to the FOSSA CLI repository and releases.rendergraphitself is sort of a "best effort" tool so it doesn't have tests; I don't think it's worth adding to docs as we would expect users to basically use this when we suggest it for troubleshooting.Acceptance criteria
rendergraphis available in FOSSA CLI releases.Testing plan
Sadly, just manual testing
Risks
Yet more random stuff plugged into FOSSA CLI releases 🙃
