Packaging notes

• A postPackage hook has been added for macOS/win32 packages to be VMP signed with castlabs-evs. CASTLABS_EVS_USERNAME & CASTLABS_EVS_PASSWORD are required as a result when trying to build the macOS/win32 packages and the python command must be available during packaging. For macOS builds, codesign build with custom entitlements as necessary and then notarize it with APPLE_ID, APPLE_ID_PASSWORD & APPLE_TEAM_ID.
