binary releases

[yamt]

i think it makes sense for us to provide some binary assets for releases. i guess we can start from wamrc, which takes long to build because of llvm. how do you think?

@yamt yes, it should be a good time to provide some binary releases, our suggestion is to provide: iwasm, wamrc, wamr-sdk, lldb and wamr-ide (vscode extension). Each of them has a binary for platform Ubuntu (maybe Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04), Windows and MacOS. And these binary can be automatically generated by CI when we create a new WAMR release.

This would be great. If you could get a windows release out for 1.0.0, before setting up the whole CI solution, that would help speed adoption up a bit. Later I would add a 32-bit ARM release too, since RaspiOS is still on 32-bit!
