Create a user friendly way of installing/running executable

๐ Provide a description of the new feature
Currently, the executable is composed of a single binary directly compiled from Rust. However, this is not the most user friendly way of installing/running for non-developers, especially in MacOS, as it can be seen in some comments in this reddit post.
Therefore, we should implement a way of generating some sort of app such as .dmg to facilitate its use in MacOS.
Potential solutions are many, however, one thing that might pose the biggest obstacle is signing the executable with an Apple Developer Account - example 1 / example 2.
It would also be more user-friendly if running the application worked out of the box: #46
I have created a PR to add Discrakt to Scoop: ScoopInstaller/Extras#10285. Please fix #47 so that I won't need the pre_install
workaround in the manifest.
Assuming #46 is implemented, one can just run scoop install discrakt
and run the program out of the box as @rollingmoai mentioned.
