need basic commands for Crostini: man, file, wget

Project Member Reported by goanuj@google.com, Dec 27 
Chrome Version: 71.0.3578.85 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Expected result: basic commands like 'man','file','wget' should be present on Crostini

Rationale: as a developer these commands are part of basic Linux installations.

Possible Solutions:
1. install man, file, wget as part of the basic installation
2. officially support Chromebrew (similar to brew for macOS): https://skycocker.github.io/chromebrew

Installing man-db, file, and wget on top of a clean x86-64 penguin container takes only an additional 14.4 MB (according to apt), so it seems fairly reasonable to add these to the default container image.

Ahh - if download size is an issue another alternative is to create an easy way to install a bundle of "advanced" commands post-installation.

IMO these utilities are essential enough that installing them by default makes sense.

Verified on the latest container image. Note that this won't take effect for new containers on 73 until https://crrev.com/95d1f03df9bbcdf0b16c39cee3de5095362e3f4a makes it into a Chrome uprev.
