Preview builds

The repo now has Github actions configured to build each commit in preview/* branches and pack an extension and attach it to the action job.

This should help making minor changes and ensure that the package is built from the actual Github source.

Then install it in Visual Studio for Mac > Extensions... > Install from file...

Other notes
