Summary of Changes

This PR introduces a repostory-specific action that builds a distribution artifact whose directory structure is similar to the structure in the LabVIEW installer.
The relative structure in the artifact now looks like:

- menus
   - Categories
   - Controls
- resource
   - AFDebug
      - DETT Format
      - Protected Actor Handle
      - Register Actor Msg 
   - Framework
      - Providers
         - ActorMessageMaker
         - AddActor
         - AddActorInterface
         - GProviders
         - MessageMakerProvider
         - MessageRescripter
- vi.lib
   - ActorFramework

Reason for Change

As part of the NI's open-source initiative, it was decided to consume artifacts from GitHub and have the artifact with its relative structure similar to the latest LabVIEW installers. This makes it easier to while include Actor Framework with the installer.
