Description

Following https://github.com/timberio/vector/pull/2239#pullrequestreview-388557845, it would be nice to have documented on the website (for example, installation from source page) how to produce all kinds of release artifacts for Linux (such as archives, DEB and RPM packages, and Docker images) locally.
