Added support for building release binaries

[danielsreichenbach]

This replaces the not longer maintained goxc tooling with goreleaser, allowing to automatically push release binaries/archives with checksums to GitHub tags.

Why?!

Automate a tedious task, while adding in a few additional platforms and common features such as checksums for all users.

Possible improvements

• use fpm to create installable packages

Requirements

You need to export a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, which should contain a GitHub token with the repo scope selected. It will be used to deploy releases to your GitHub repository. Create a token here.

$ export GITHUB_TOKEN=`YOUR_TOKEN`

Pushing a release

Tag and push as usual, e.g.

$ git tag -a 1.14.0 -m "First release"
$ git push origin 1.14.0

Now you can run GoReleaser at the root of the repository:

$ goreleaser

Building current state

To create a build for the current commit hash active, you can execute

$ goreleaser --snapshot --rm-dist
