Switch to new build procedure

[dungwinux]

• Uncompressed size: ~35MB
• Compressed size (zip): ~12MB
• Compressed size (7z): ~10MB

Definitely a problem with pkg when packaging. Any solutions are welcome.

Not really sure if the PE32+ executable can work normally as its ELF counterpart, so try this.

Make an ELF build for Linux systems, because things can be done cross-platform, also you would need Linux for strip to work.

EDIT (22:06 UTC+7) : Do not use this method! The JavaScript bundle at the end of the binary seems to be stripped off. See vercel/pkg#50 (comment). Haven't tested though.

I've known this a long time ago. That's why I'm putting up this issue

[dungwinux]

New proposed build procedure:

1. Compile into one file using @zeit/ncc
2. Build into exe using nexe. Bundling version here is convenient.
3. Use UPX to compress executable

[dungwinux]

Test of new procedure @ master
Source file size (ncc): 2,894 KB
Binary size (nexe): 26,782 KB
Compressed size (upx): 11,309 KB
Update: It's noteworthy that the program still run properly after being compressed by upx
