Feature: Add to Homebrew & Chocolatey #231

Problem Statement

IDPBuilder install could be streamlined by adding the binaries to Homebrew for Mac users and Chocolatey for windows users

Possible Solution

IDPBuilder could have a release workflow that we have automated Github Actions to release to the two platforms. There is documentation https://brew.sh/ and https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/create-packages on how to do it.

There is also https://github.com/marketplace/actions/homebrew-releaser and https://github.com/marketplace/actions/chocolatey-action which can be used to help.

Alternatives Considered

I have no objection to this other than the potential maintenance overhead but I think it's worth it. When I checkout a new project, I usually go with homebrew when there is an option to do so. Note that we don't support windows right now...
