Make CI automatically build and distribute the mod JAR file

[boomboompower]

As the name suggests, we want to implement a CI which automatically runs on each pull request, and on each push to the actual main branch of the mod.

Being a CI, all tasks listed below will be entirely automated.

Build operating systems

• [x] Windows
• [x] macOS
• [x] Linux

Each operating system should run a few major tasks

1. Setting up the workspace
2. Run gradlew setupCIWorkspace - We use setupCIWorkspace instead of setupDecompWorkspace because it sets up the bare minumum required to build the jar
3. Run gradlew build

Additional tasks

The Linux job will require additional options. After the completion of gradlew build the CI should send the built JAR file along with the source to Github Releases.

Although this is marked as closed, there is more work which can be done on this in the future so I'll leave the in progress tag on the issue. Any new commits which relate to the CI will be referenced here as well.

1.7.10 does not build sources and therefore has a slightly modified build script (pushed in https://github.com/boomboompower/SkinChanger/commit/e047ee97d924830b503e8c6ece22c6e40f4d1dd6)

This should be noted for those wanting the 1.7.10 sources.
