Overview

Use github.com/tc-hib/go-winres and winres.json file to apply version details to Windows executables provided by this project.

Background

While this project currently does not provide Windows binaries as part of the normal release workflow, it may do so again in the future. Others may also wish to generate Windows binaries locally and could benefit from having version metadata embedded in the binaries for easier tracking and inventory management (e.g., SCCM deployments).

Update .gitignore to exclude Windows syso files

These files are produced when running go generate
as part of the build process and should not be
retained in version control.
