We prompt the user with a sudo-prompt upon launch on Linux-based systems
to ensure the program has enough permissions for features needed
throughout the program's runtime.

We're currently manually changing the names of the final packages
created by `electron-builder`. This commit makes Etcher use the default
package names that `electron-builder` picks for us.
The Windows final package names contain spaces, so I did keep the
`artifactName` entries for them, which now basically use what
`electron-builder` recommends, but use hyphens instead of spaces.
Change-Type: minor

Etcher has local native code that gets built to `build/`, but that's not
being included inside the final asar.
The fix is to manually add the `*.node` files inside `build/Release` by
adding the appropriate wilcard to the `files` section of
`electron-builder.yml`.

- Exclude *.dll/*.exe files from the asar in non-Windows operating
systems (from 19.8.0)
- Correctly parse boolean flags in `--extraMetadata` (in v19.9.0)

One-click installers are a "modern" version of usual wizard installers,
and somewhat resemble the Squirrel.Windows installers you can see in
apps like Atom.
As the name implies, the user needs to agree the license, and that's
all, the remaining installer is non-interactive, leading to a very
smooth user experience.

The electron-builder configuration we're putting in package.json is
growing. To make it easier to read and edit, we'll move the whole
`build` property into a configuration file called
`electron-builder.yml`.
