[Feature] Static binary releases

[frol]

I just want to propose to provide static binary releases. There are some use-cases when you only want to share a session once, and currently, I resort to gotty since go produces portable binaries by design. ttyd has better support for unicode from my experience and this is why I would love to use ttyd...

P.S. It might be worth to consider musl libc instead of glibc for static compilation.

I definitely want to do this, but didn't find a good way to support all the platforms.

Have you bumped into any issues when you just specify -static flag to the linker?

[tsl0922]

Yes, tried it before. musl libc maybe a good idea, glibc is too big for static linking.

[tsl0922]

Just let you know that I've successfully built a static binary with musl libc, but the build process is very complicate, I'll try to automate it.

@tsl0922 It works on my Arch Linux and Ubuntu 16.04 systems! Super!

Released 1.3.3 with static binary.
