Github Actions? #131

Sorry, but have you guys thought of automating the builds for the browser using Github Actions? I've seen lots of FOSS projects use it and have it build the source automatically every a certain period of time after a commit has been made.

And adding an X86_64 AppImage or FlatPak for us normies that just want a good XUL browser?

To automate builds you need an external server, VM or something similar to actually build. We don't have that currently. Builds are done on "our systems".

For Linux, we can provide a self-contained tarball to unpack. I don't think AppImage or FlatPak are reasonable, in case RPMs, DEBs or equivalents are needed. Ideally supported by the respective distributions.

GitHub Actions builds every commit, no external server needed.
