Create proper release

[SebastianZ]

To make it easy for people to install the extension, it should be packaged into an XPI file and published as a release on GitHub.

Yup. We should be done with this sometime this weekend.

Keep in mind though, as a user you actually have to jump through more hoops to get an extension installed when it is packaged but from a non-official source (a.k.a. not from addons.mozilla.org or chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps), than when it is unpacked and loaded in development mode.

But yeah it's always nice to have a package built automatically, especially if we end up putting it on the Mozilla/Chrome store.

At least in Firefox it is somewhat comfier to install an addon from a non-official source than via about:debugging. For Firefox you can even sign the extension to allow it to be loaded from a non-official source.
This may be different for Chrome.

Done, the initial release can be found here.
We'll add links to the store(s) page once the packages are approved.

Great, thanks!
Would have been nice to see my changes to the German locale in there, too, but anyway, they'll be in the next version then.

My bad, I packed the extension while on a different (and older) branch :p
I'll make a new release shortly including the latest commits.
