FR: Provide arm binaries in release

[issmirnov]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for a wonderful project - this is by far my favorite colorizer. I have a small request - currently setting up a raspberry pi for some dev work, and found that there are no arm builds provided in the releases. If your release tooling is automated enough, could you add a line to build arm7?

Normally I'd compile it myself, but installing cargo on the pi and trying to build on it would be quite slow.

Thanks again!

Thank you for the feedback and your request!

Adding arm7 as a target on Travis is not straightforward since we need to cross-compile. However, I think we should be able to use something very similar to what has been done for ripgrep (most of these changes will probably not be needed for bat): BurntSushi/ripgrep#715

See also this similar request for my fd project: sharkdp/fd#244

The new version bat 0.5 includes pre-built binaries for ARMv7.
