Deployment options and readme file #87

I want to make 3 points:

  1. Great repository. Having read through the other issues: I am sorry that "no good deed goes unpunished" :)
  2. I have tested this extensively on 2.91.0, 2.91.1, and 2.91.2 versions of Blender. It still works with Addon development. The only feature I have not tested is the scripting part (addon development with debugging works great so far). Would suggest updating readme to indicate up until 2.91.2 Blender version supported.
  3. When I am done with my Addon, I want to test deployment. This means zipping the file structure, and giving the zip file a correct name, so not difficult. However, it will conflict with an installed debug version (a symlink). For deployment, the debug version of the addon, created automatically with this repo-tool, must be removed. I This could be elaborated in the readme, as this did cost me a little bit of time (being new at this).

For the future, it would be great to have the option: Blender: Deploy, which automatically packages the addon into correct zip-file structure, and in a dialog box asks if you want to remove the debug version in Blender. Seems trivial to implement (since its not me doing the wok :) )
