Description
As CIRCT progresses, we are going to need a way to distribute the tools that CIRCT provides in an easy to use format. This ideally means that we have CI that is packaging CIRCT for various operating systems/architectures. Concretely, we'd like to start making CIRCT a real option for Chisel users. However, it is onerous to expect a Chisel user to go build LLVM and CIRCT from source.
At minimum, we should add CI that builds a Linux statically-linked binary of CIRCT/CIRCT tools. Going beyond that, it would be good to have MacOS and Windows binaries as well. Going even further, it would be useful to have a matrix of builds for different operating systems and processor architectures.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing CI configuration and how CIRCT tools are built. Implement the minimum Linux statically linked binary packaging described in the issue, then assess adding macOS and Windows builds and an OS/architecture matrix. Done means CI produces usable binary release artifacts for the supported targets.
