Description

Similar to #603 it would be great to offer the installable plugin zip for each release through GitHub) as well by attaching it to the Release for each tagged version.

Travis makes this rather easy using their Releases deployment provider:
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/

In addition to uploading the production build, we could also upload a development/debug version of the plugin which would be built using a development build. This would be very useful in support where error traces would contain the full names of component, reference accurate line numbers, etc.

Trace how tagged releases produce the installable plugin zip, then verify that both production and development/debug artifacts are attached to each GitHub release with the expected version and build contents.
