Create Compiled Arlon CLI for Linux and the Build Infrastructure

[cre8minus1]

To make Arlon easier to use we need to create an automated build system that can publish the cli for Linux.

The end goal is to make using Arlon much easier, with a complied CLI users can download and go.
Users of any desktop OS should be able to download the CLI and use it.

• Allow users to install using APT

Other OS support will be delivered after Linux

• MACOS Allow users to install using brew Create Compiled Arlon CLI for MacOS, with Build Infrastructure  #114
• Windows OS Investigate using https://chocolatey.org for Windows Create Compiled Arlon CLI for Windows and the Build Infrastructure  #115

It may be easier to just publish binaries without package system integration. The only downside with that is it won't have a built-in upgrade feature.

I just noticed that issue #61 is about a self-update system. Perhaps a standalone binary combined with that feature would solve the lack of integration with native package manager.

I can look into this (tagging and releasing binaries).

In addition, GoReleaser has support for creating Linux packages and Homebrew taps

With GoReleaser, you can:

• Cross-compile your Go project
• Release to GitHub, GitLab and Gitea
• Create nightly builds
• Create Docker images and manifests
• Create Linux packages and Homebrew taps
• Sign artifacts, checksums and container images
• Announce new releases on Twitter, Slack, Discord and others
• Generate SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) for binaries and container images

There are alternatives to GoReleaser too, like goxc (note that go build also supports cross-compilation since golang v1.05 and there are alternative GitHub actions workflows on GitHub marketplace) + ghr etc.

@cruizen can you adjust the effort estimate, and also break this into estimates for each of the OSes.

I'm splitting this into 3 issues one for each OS
Linux is the 0.9.0 target
