Go Release Binary GitHub Action

Automate publishing Go build artifacts for GitHub releases through GitHub Actions.

Detects a build.sh in the go repo and will use that instead. Expects a list of file artifacts in a single, space delimited line as output for packaging.

Extra environment variables:

• CMD_PATH
  • Pass extra commands to go build
• EXTRA_FILES
  • Pass a list of extra files for packaging.
    • Example: EXTRA_FILES: "README.md LICENSE"
