[Feature Request] GitHub Action to create .streamDeckPlugin

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
GitHub Action to create .streamDeckPlugin

From the Elgato Docs:

• Exporting your plugin for distribution
• Distribution on the store
• Distribution on your website

Describe the solution you'd like
A GitHub action that can run the DistributionTool and produce a .streamDeckPlugin binary.

Steps

• Get the DistributionTool (Win or Mac)
• Create/choose a folder to put the output in
• run DistributionTool.exe -b -i com.elgato.counter.sdPlugin -o Release

This could then be added to other Actions like

• Build project
• Run above
• Upload to release
  • https://github.com/actions/upload-release-asset
• Upload to Elgato store
  • TBD (API?)

I've never written a GHA, can you distribute binaries like the DistributionTool with it?
Would you just pull it from here and extract, seems a lot of work each time?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually running the above steps.

Additional context
I've emailed Elgato asking if they are likely to produce their own GHA and what the options will be to upload to the store.
