After trying out lots of different options for how to build/host/distribute binaries, i'm proposing we just use BinaryBuilder.jl and do so in the way it's intended to be used... except hosting the build_tarballs.jl script here (instead of in Yggdrasil) and the resulting package in an RAI GitHub org (instead of in JuliaBinaryWrappers org)
The means we can use BinaryBuilder.jl to build binaries, create a JLL Julia package for distributing them, and handle uploading both the package and binaries to a GitHub repo. And that we are free to make releases without going via Yggrasil and needing a PR approval their. The downside is that Yggdrasil CI won't build the binaries for us (for now we can just build locally and later figure out a nicer CI-base setup if necessary). And the JLL package is outside this repo (because BinaryBuilder isn't really set up for the JLL and binaries to be anywhere other than in their own repo).
