publish packages to unofficial PPA

See original GitHub issue

As the release page always provides some .deb files, maybe would it be interesting to deploy them to a launchpad ppa?

Automated deploy from travis-ci is a no brainer as it is supported out-of-the-box: Doc

travis.yml contains encrypted access tokens (see here)

Would be happy to help 😃

I’ve ended up trialling PackageCloud in #278 as it supports both deb and rpm feeds, and will handle the release packages I’m already generating.

Instructions for setting up your machine are in this comment https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/issues/278#issuecomment-627642533 which I’ll convert some documentation once I’ve got the corresponding rpm instructions ready.
