Automated deployment of release tarballs

[treydock]

One thing that's possible when using .promu.yml is that you can use CircleCI orbs developed by Prometheus to build tarballs using promu and release them to Github release page. Example CircleCI:

With Docker containers getting built and published:
https://github.com/treydock/cgroup_exporter/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml

Without Docker containers:
https://github.com/treydock/gpfs_exporter/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml

These all require the Makefile.common from Prometheus exporters developed by Prometheus organization. Before I went down the road of doing this, wanted to check if using CircleCI was an acceptable approach? I can also provide guidance on how to configure the CircleCI org with secrets if needed ie for Docker container publishing if needed.

@treydock Yes, sounds great. Would love to get this going. CircleCI is good with me.
