Add `conda` recipe and publish to `conda-forge` #29

Essentially time-taking and is a huge task but ultimately there are no dependencies required, except for the build-time requirements

Closing – it is probably best to build Hugo from source or download the binaries into a conda-forge recipe without the Python scaffolding. Reason: this package essentially provides utilities to place isolated binaries and set the PATH environment variable accordingly, and conda environments do not need that – they can interface the binary directly rather than having a Pythonic intermediate.

I am not aware at this time as to why the Hugo developers never thought of using conda as a distribution channel.
