Please provide builds for the usual Linux distributions (Ubuntu, EL7, EL8, Debian)

This would solve the libicu issues that have been reported in a couple of places :

https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc/issues/384 https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-odbc/issues/358

there are multiple opened issues here with the same root cause " the pre-built Linux package is built on CentOS 7, and it depends on the default system version of ICU, which is ICU 50. " ICU 50 doesnt come in all Linux distributions and cause a pain for users to install clickhouse-odbc package. It makes sense to change build process to fix it. Possible solutions:

1. Make builds for every major Linux distributions (Ubuntu 18,20,22..,EL7, EL8, Debian)
2. Build it static

Dependency on packaged libraries is nonsense; it should build all dependencies from the sources and link them statically. See how ClickHouse itself does it. The build with OS dependencies should not exist at all.

Fell down this rabbit hole for a few hours as well, please fix this issue, it was kinda of hard to figure out
