Upload Bootstrapped Repository

[aminya]

Description of the change

This adds a step to the release CI that uploads the ready bootstrapped repository. This provides a ready development environment for people to start hacking Atom's Core without running and dealing with the bootstrap script (similar to a pre-built docker images).

Verification

The CI passes

This gets uploaded to Azure artifacts. How do we upload it to the release page of GitHub?

With the GitHub API I think.

Making a correct HTTP POST to the API some way or other.

Edit:

• See this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/github-release?view=azure-devops
• and also this file that already exists in the repo: https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/script/vsts/upload-artifacts.js

It seems we already have the scripts needed for releasing. We just need to test and try it to see if we need to add some variables or tokens.

We can probably reuse the bootstrapped repository in other jobs. Now MacOS bootstraps atom 4 times in total! (each being ~10min). We can reduce this time by uploading and downloading it.

One reason for Windows tests failing is that all the tests run at once in one machine which stops responding properly. If we reuse the bootstrapped repo, we can speed up the CI.

There is probably a better way. We might just cache the repository for the next job. This is easy in GitHub actions and should be possible in Azure too.
Edit: yes there exists!

I want to merge this eventually (only on release builds). We can release bootstrapped repositories with our binaries.

As you can see most checks did not pass

I suggest finding anything wrong because tests are not passing.
