To date releases have been a sort of manual process. The docker image was pushed on tagged releases, but then I needed to create the release in GH, copy all of the entries from CHANGELOG.md to it and finally build the binaries and attach them to the release. [GoReleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) can take care of all of that. When a tag is created, it will push the docker images and create the GitHub release with all of the CHANGELOG details (from the commits) as well as all of the binaries for supported OSs and archs. Brilliant! I also cleaned up the Makefile a bit to make things easier and avoid the need for installing binaries into system folders. With the exception of docker and unzip, everything else will be installed in `./bin` locally as needed. See `make help` for all the options.
