Trace why the built zip size keeps increasing

See original GitHub issue

The current zip of the Test Runner build in the Firefox branch is 191MB! Need to investigate what is driving the increases in size

Example for Mac

Find cached Cypress binary path and versions

$ npx cypress cache path
/Users/gleb/Library/Caches/Cypress
$ npx cypress cache list
3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.2.0, 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.5.0, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.7.0, 3.8.0

You can see the size history by version

$ du -hs /Users/gleb/Library/Caches/Cypress/*

Take any version and see the resources sizes - for example 3.2.0 vs 3.8.0. Tip: sort -h sorts by human size in the first column
