Create Release Packages Automatically

[eXpl0it3r]

This is another step in automating releases. This prepares packages as we've been releasing as pre-built binaries for Windows and macOS. For Linux it's still advised to use official packages or build from source due to glibc and other compatibility issues.

For macOS was unable build for older macOS SDK version as we used to. With Apple not providing any reasonable support in this area and them heavily pushing users to new OS versions, I don't necessarily see this in our responsibility.

In case anyone wants to try. I got stuck on the compiler not finding the <ostream> header 🤷

Failures are due to me first targeting master 😅

[ChrisThrasher]

Nit: We use 2 space indentations for GitHub Actions YAML code

[ChrisThrasher]

These choices for generator, compiler, and standard library are already the defaults on macOS so we can omit these arguments if we want.

[eXpl0it3r]

Hmmm I did get different results when I was playing with SDKs for the standard library and compiler, but I guess it's not needed for the standard case
