Desktop builds

[brettchalupa]

• [x] set up a staging itch project for testing the build release process
• [x] macos (apple silicon)
• [x] macos (universal)
• [x] save data location working
• [x] windows
• [x] linux
• [x] scripts for making builds & releases to various places easier
  • [x] macos
  • [x] linux (cargo build --release and copy assets folder, zip it up, and push to itch)
  • [x] windows (cargo build --release and copy assets folder, zip it up, and push to itch)
• [x] better understand if/when to cargo clean

macos will require changing how asset folder is referenced, I've got code for that

windows and linux will prob just be scripts that cargo build --release and copy the assets folder and zips 'em up

will do by hand to start and then figure out automation in the future on CI

got this good enough for now... will have to manually build them on each target platform since I didn't get cross-compiling working but should be fine for this project's needs for now
