feat: improve parallelization in github workflows and Makefile#2436
Conversation
The primary goals of this PR are:
* Better parallelization for github workflows and local builds
* Allow easily running the github workflows locally
Changes:
* Makefile now describes dependencies among targets to enable parallel jobs
* Created `release` target to be called from the release workflow
* Creates temporary build folders to isolate symlinks
* Created `release-test` target to be called form the test workflow
* Makefile now has a release target which will concurrently build all 4 archives
* Added -j flag to Makefile so it may create multiple jobs
* This should leverage all cpus 4 cpu machines we will build on
* I've made the arch explicit (GOOS=amd64) for x86 binary for safety
* For now I've preserved the existing targets for "make build" and "make build-strip", but ideally:
* `make build` only builds using `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build` giving native
arch for local dev.
* `make release` builds all the release binaries, without any env defined
values such as `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build` (it is currently doing this now)
* I've collapsed the test workflows into one step so they can run concurrently
One note is that the go tool chain does make use of multiple cpus. But there
should still be measurable benefits on 4 cpu machines with these changes.

Some additional cleanup: * Added a common build macro that accepts the dest name and an optional set of flags to pass to the go linker. * Removed the redundant -w flag on strip target (it's implied) * Removed the version file writes and used the optional linker flags added in the build macro, since stripped binaries allow for -X flags.
