Release as debian/rpm package #132

For installation, it would really help if the tools was released as a standard package such as rpm or debian. Since goreleaser is used, it is just a matter of adding the following section 

nfpms:
  - formats:
      - apk
      - deb
      - rpm

The project is largely in maintenance mode ever since Kubernetes added the support for native gRPC probes. Also packaging would immensely expand the scope of this project and I as the sole maintainer have no experience in testing them either. I'd much prefer if the community packages and distributes this elsewhere on apt repos if needed. I suspect nothing needs to change in this repo to accommodate that.

@ahmetb I am not aware of similar grpc support built in in docker compose such as in kubernetes and use the probe tool to wait for readiness there. Having the tool packaged would greatly ease its installation

Ideally, it would be nice to keep this repo simple and have "packagers" deal with this. Packaging greatly complicates the maintenance, and in this case only a small % of users benefit from it.
