release: fix duplicate libs, store symbolic links

[taronaeo]

fixes #17229

Enables storing of symlink information in the archive to avoid duplicating libraries such as *.dylib. Saves on storage space and bandwidth.

[CISC]

Have you tested the archives on various platforms? AFAIK there are several issues with symlinks in zip.

[taronaeo]

Tested this on an M1 MacBook Pro and it worked as intended. Any specific OS I should test this on?

I can try to spin up VMs to test this coming weekend.

Also, i feel like it would be a better idea to incrementally move to .tar.gz for Linux releases and keep .zip for Windows. WDYT?

[CISC]

Windows in particular would be nice to confirm still works.

Moving to tar (not necessarily gzip) on Linux makes sense, not sure why we're using zip?

Will test it this weekend and report back.

Sweet. I'll start including .tar archives in this PR and maybe we can put a deprecation warning somewhere (maybe README.md?) to inform that Linux releases will be moving to .tar instead of .zip.

Then maybe after a few months, we can officially deprecate .zip for Linux.
