feat: add all current buildable targets

[YOU54F]

• Use cross to build for all available platforms, that will currently build.
• Drops uploading of (and can very easily be added back in)
  • dll.lib for windows, everything I've seen uses dll only
  • .a, used for musl builds? not sure how, would love to hear from Alpine users, I had to generate an .so file and use it that way
• generates .so file for alpine
• generates the same targets for pact_ffi / pact_verifier_cli / pact_mock_server_cli
  • edit - to be added from another branch, as the build step for the FFI can be reused across all three with some minor tweaks

• release workflow would be made redundant by this workflow as it is also catered for.

  Warrants a conversation about nomenclature with regards to platform / architecture. I've got a few thoughts.

Pact-Reference Supported Platforms / Architectures

Legend

• ✅ : Builds with cross and officially supported
• 🧪 : Builds with cross and unofficially released for testing
• 🚧 : Cross image available, doesn't build
• ❌ : doesn't build, (or no cross image available)
• ❓ : Untested
• 👷🏽 : Locally built and tested

Just a note on:

• dll.lib is a static lib that contains the glue code to load the DLL on Windows. It will be used with C/C++ projects using MS Visual C++ (if that still exists). Ie. you link the dll.lib to your project, and that exports the functions from the DLL that auto-load the DLL when invoked.
• musl does not support loading shared libs and is designed for running statically linked executables. The static lib is provided for people can link to musl libc to create a executable that can run in Alpine. Most people who use Alpine who also want to use shared libs (which is just stupid in my book) also install glibc to get the implementation of dl_open. Why not just use Debian? Oh, yeah, Debian is "big" and "bloated" and "slow", while Alpine is "small" and "fast" and it's all about devs doing "docker pull" and not caring about the runtime requirements the app they are building. Idiots.
• The iOS libs will not be usable by themselves. They need to be combined into a special Apple multi-arch lib, see https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/blob/master/rust/pact_ffi/release-ios.sh

[rholshausen]

Also, on the .so for musl, there is an issue with that as that .so shared lib will contain the musl libc linked into it. It may only work on Alpine versions that use the same version of musl. If it is used with other versions, it can lead to stack corruption and segmentation violations. In essence, a different .so lib needs to be built for every version of Alpine.
