Subject: [PATCH] Add script to build executable for local use (#53)

When building on my machine via `shards build --production --release
--no-debug --static` I was getting warnings like this:

/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a(libcrypto-lib-dso_dlfcn.o):
in function \`dlfcn_globallookup':
(.text+0x11): warning: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications
requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for
linking
/usr/bin/ld: _main.o3.o: in function
\`*TCPSocket::new:dns_timeout:connect_timeout<String, Int32, (Time::Span
| Nil), (Time::Span | Nil)>:TCPSocket':
main_module:(.text+0x8a3f5): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically
linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the
glibc version used for linking
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a(libcrypto-lib-bio_sock.o):
in function \`BIO_gethostbyname':
(.text+0x81): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking

Building via the alpine-based Crystal Docker image avoids these warnings
(I guess (according to Perplexity) by using musl libc rather than glibc
for the compilation).

Thanks to Perplexity for this suggestion (private link):
