Binary does not work with WSL

• vscode-remote version: 1.31.0-20
• OS Version: Windows 10 (rel 1809) - WSL Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run WSL and try to run the executable
2. Error: -bash: ./code-server: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Ah interesting. We compress the node binary prior to packaging, so that makes sense. Will add the additional target soon.

We ended up skipping compression altogether (from 1.32.0-245 onward): https://github.com/codercom/code-server/commit/8bab787804912306821e50747699ce25ba1d22e9.
