distributable sysimg?

I think in principal we can compile distributable sysimgs and let users download it via BB, this will make command line apps much more easier to install and fast.

I implemented a GitHub action to do this in IonCLI: https://github.com/Roger-luo/IonCLI.jl/blob/master/.github/workflows/sysimg.yml

however a few problems I found for this workflow:

I cannot use Artifact.toml to download system images since they are built after the tag
I cannot verify the downloaded content easily (or maybe in the future)
