What Provide librdkafka and its bindings as binary on release assets. Like swc-project.

Why To speed up postinstall operation and avoid tackle with compilation errors/warnings.

How When merged into master branch, compile native code and publish onto releases page.

Add postinstall script to download binary for suitable platform, using prebuild-install cli.

It'd be better to use prebuildify. A post install script to download binaries from a web site is not a great experience.

See https://github.com/newrelic/node-native-metrics/pull/238 for one such conversion.
