Publish tor.real artifact as part of the TBB build process

It would be very useful for people that need a pre-compiled (verifiable) binary on multiple architectures/platforms, if instead of having to download the whole TBB packages, I could instead just download the tor.real signed.

It should be possible to add this as part of the TBB build process so that this artifact is published and signed separately.

On Windows, we already produce a zip archive that contains tor.exe, the geoip files, and necessary DLLs. I guess we could do something similar for OSX and Linux?

I started a patch for this: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-build.git/commit/?h=bug_23849&id=6dc14ab295ff3f48ee98c5c2ea2080aa852fe7db

It is building a tor expert-bundle for Linux and Mac. However, it is using the same directory names as when included in Tor Browser, and maybe we want to change that:

Hm, I am wondering whether we need that much. hellais: You only need tor.real or the whole bundle (including things like the libevent-dylib and the geoip files)?
