On MacOS, the default BSD gzip produces a different output than the GNU gzip
on Linux. To ensure reproducible builds, we need to use GNU gzip.
This is similar to what we do to enforce GNU tar.
This commit updates `scripts/release.sh` to include a check for the
correct Go version before executing the release build. This ensures that
the release binaries are built with the specified Go version,
maintaining consistency and integrity for developer signatures.
We add a new make goal called release-install that creates the same
reproducible binaries as the release script would create, but only for
the current OS/architecture. It then installs those binaries to the
system's GOBIN directory.
To allow easy verification of individual binaries (instead of just the
packag tarballs/zips), we also add the hashes of lnd and lncli binaries
to the manifest. We do the same in the docker build.
A number of tricks need to be applied to the tar and zip commands
respectively to make sure they always produce deterministic archives.
This includes setting the file timestamps to a fixed date and setting
specific ownership attributes (tar) or no attributes at all (zip).
Because this script is now run from the main Makefile, it is more
suitable to be located in the main scripts folder where the other
build related scripts reside.
