Automate release process

semantic-release could help.

Their interactive CLI is great and can ease the installation process.

Branches / environments

When doing automated releasing process, I think it's important to create another branch like develop which contains all the latest developments. With the help of a CI service like Travis, Circle etc, we could run some quality tasks like:

• testing (all kind of testing)
• reporting

master branch would be for deployment purpose:

• testing
• packaging
• uploading to Chrome Webstore

This semantic-release plugin could take care of the uploading step. ✨

It's also possible to keep only one branch like master but we'd need to check that the CI service handles manual job triggering to manually release the extension.
