Linux build

On Linux, URLSession and URLRequest are not in Foundation, but in FoundationNetworking.
FoundationNetworking has transitive dependencies that prevent compiling a static binary.
Catbird uses only models from CatbirdAPI, so URLSession was removed from the Linux build.

./catbird-2: error while loading shared libraries: libswift_Concurrency.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-94-generic x86_64)

Couldn't build on M1 Macbook with Docker, got a random errors or freezes 😞
Maybe it has something to do with cross-compilation from arm to amd64.

Dockerfile

#------- build -------
FROM swift:5.5.1-focal as builder

# set up the workspace
RUN mkdir /workspace
WORKDIR /workspace

# copy the source to the docker image
COPY . /workspace

RUN .github/scripts/linux-build.sh

#------- package -------
FROM ubuntu:focal
# copy executables
COPY --from=builder /workspace/catbird-linux /

# set the entry point (application name)
CMD ["catbird-linux"]

docker build . -t catbird:1.0 --platform linux/amd64

@modestman сatbird is currently being built for x86. To compile to fat binary, you need to pass ...

swift build --arch arm64 --arch x86_64

@subdan has already added this, but had to roll back because the release build was falling on GitHub Actions

It would be a great next step to have Catbird run on arm 👍
