Change folder name on plugin download and activate it.

As agreed in ClassicPress/classic-commerce#131 (comment)

1. We have delegated the uninstallation of the WooCommerce plugin to the website owner.
2. This plugin on install and activation runs under the folder named cc-compat-woo with file woocommerce.php
3. We need to rewrite its name to folder named woocommerce with file woocommerce.php
4. Issue arises - CP will reocgnize the that plugin cc-compat-woo/woocommerce.php is no longer active in the plugins_options array. With this, the newly renamed woocommerce/woocommerce.php* won't work. It is inactive until activated again.
5. The Challenge is rename the folder and activate it.

Of course this is easy for an experiences developer to use a command line and accomplish all these tasks. How do we get the ordinary user who downloaded this plugin to do these tasks in one click of the button?

I've been thinking about this too and came to the conclusion that perhaps the easiest thing to do is to rename the repo from cc-compat-woo to woocommerce. I know this isn't ideal but in the interests of keeping things simple, it would seem the most reasonable option to me?

Solution: changing repo name.

Temporarily reopening this further to Slack discussions.

Repo name to stay cc-compat-woo.

Use the following command to create an archive that extracts to woocommerce/woocommerce.php:

git archive --prefix=woocommerce/ -o "woocommerce.zip" HEAD

and then upload this to GitHub when a release is created.

As advised, we need to make this a bash script.
