[FEATURE REQ] Precompiled binaries

[utdrmac]

I have some customers that want to use valkey-bloom, but don't want to mess with the hassle of compiling. Can a github action be added to this repo to automatically compile, and add to release assets? This would help IaC across many servers much easier.

@utdrmac , Thanks for the explaining the use case. Did a quick check and I don't see the valkey-server binary included in the valkey repository. However, they do provide a way for users to download the binaries from the valkey website.

It would make sense to also have Modules also downloadable.

Valkey-Bundle provides a docker image that when started, has all the official modules loaded onto a Valkey server. (https://valkey.io/topics/valkey-bundle/). This is the closest we have to a solution which avoids compiling the code.

I will still talk with some of the maintainers about potentially having the binaries from Modules downloadable, like we do with the core
