Create releases with pre-compiled binaries about dotenv-hs

[CristhianMotoche]

I've never done this before. I'd love to take this.

Hey @sestrella As we discussed, let's do this step incrementally. I think our final goal is to make dotenv binary work for the following operating systems:

• Linux x86_64 (via #114)
• Mac osX (via #117)
• Windows
• Automate release notes (via #115 )

I'll keep you updated with any progress.

@CristhianMotoche sounds good to me, thank you for carrying this on.

@sestrella I'm trying to set the release notes. Here is my first attempt: https://github.com/stackbuilders/dotenv-hs/releases/tag/untagged-8972a8d79f11a59c973f

Two things here:

1. The advanced options of travis deploy didn't work, because formatting the body isn't supported (tested it here).

2. So, based on this issue, I followed the suggestion described here.

Let me know what you think.

Travis has the option to build on Mac OS and even Windows, I think. However, it cannot collect artifacts after builds. Info here. An option that Travis suggests is to set up a S3 bucket and push the artifacts there. And later, move those binaries from S3 to a GitHub release.

What do you think about that approach? /cc @sestrella @juanpaucar

@CristhianMotoche nice suggestion, in fact, that seems to be the way to go in some well-know packages such as stack. I think adding some deployment scripts - to build the binaries locally - would be a good idea.

Thanks to GH Actions the process has become very simple to upload the notes and generate the static binary (see this release). I suggest not to generate the binaries for OS X or Windows since that will add extra complexity to our CI pipeline and also it hasn't been requested by any else so far. Therefore, let's close this issue. We can open a new one for each individual platform as needed. Thanks for rising the issue @sestrella
