Linux package proof of concept

[jsirianni]

Uses Goreleaser to build deb and rpm packages. Includes some specific configuration for special needs that I have, but can be used as a reference for anyone who wants to build Linux packages.

You can give it a try with:

goreleaser release --skip=publish --skip=validate --clean

dist

    └── promtool

Long term I would probably use Goreleaser to assemble the package using binaries built from the upstream Prometheus release, instead of building them here. Or wait until the Prometheus team implements linux packages.
