Add Github actions for DMG and EXE packages

[raimund-schluessler]

This enhances the Github check action to build installer packages for MacOSX and Win. The packages are uploaded as artifacts to Github and can be downloaded from the Github Actions page.

Closes #29.

What is still missing is an Action to create packages and a release when a new tag is pushed. But I would propose to add this in a follow-up PR, since this one is already huge.

For whatever reason actions don't run at all at the moment. 😕

Edit: Github status page states delays in actions atm. Perfect time to debug some actions 🙈

I think the build pipeline should be fine like this. There have been a few updates (pyinstaller, scipy).

The windows installer works fine. The Mac DMG says "“Impose.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."

The windows installer works fine.

I have to correct myself. Installing Impose uninstalls BMicro and vice-versa.

Windows installer works fine now. Lives happily together with BMicro. 👍

But getting the tag in the _version.py script does not work. Not sure if only related to this PR or not. The installer script generates a file named Impose_2022.05.05.post08_win_64bit_setup.exe whereas it should read Impose_0.2.2.post08_win_64bit_setup.exe (not the current date, but the tag/version 0.2.2).

Is there an option for GHA to also pull/fetch the tags? The tags are important.

I think that's not the issue. It also fails locally now for me.

Debugging _version.py shows that the call to git does not return something meaningful, but gives

b"fatal: unsafe repository ('D:/Data/Biotec/Software/00_Programs/BMicro' is owned by someone else)\nTo add an exception for this directory, call:\n\n\tgit config --global --add safe.directory D:/Data/Biotec/Software/00_Programs/BMicro\n"

The Mac DMG says "“Impose.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin."

In principle the DMG seems to be fine. But when you download it via browser, Mac somehow flags it as unsafe and acknowledges running the DMG with this obscure, if not downright wrong, error message.

Downloading it on a windows machine and then copying the DMG file via a USB stick works flawlessly. Obviously, USB sticks have never been used to transfer malware and can be considered safe without any problem 🙄

That is weird!
