chore: add back support for generating signable binaries (#339)

Use `boxednode` to create binaries that are compiled in a way
that should enable us to sign them. `pkg` is retained as a
helper for local development, since it requires no native compilation.

For CI, we add a Dockerfile to create the various Linux packages.

Fixes MONGOSH-226
