Script to build "native" apps

[rubiojr]

Use nativefier to wrap the beehive binary and build a desktop app.

We can build Linux apps with this too, but I haven't tried. The script will need to be modified to support it.

@muesli we could start publishing binary assets with the releases at some point. At least for MacOS and Linux users, so they can easily run Beehive.

Going to use launchd on macOS, creating a launch agent so we can easily monitor beehived, automatically launch it when the compute starts, easily kill it without the hacky killall, etc.

Note: I think we can (and should) dynamically generate the beehive.icns

I've resumed work on this and added a snap config so we can generate snap (via script/build-app) for the distributions that support it. Still a WiP but functional, added in https://github.com/muesli/beehive/pull/142/commits/aba9788b58f9f893d5f439fa2667778caacf7dac.

@muesli: would you be interested in registering as a developer on https://snapcraft.io so we can eventually publish the snap there?
