Let catalog produced by CI be hosted publicly

Build artifacts can be handled by appveyor: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts/

I'm not sure if appveyor cloud storage can act as a server, I think artifacts can only be fetched via API

Option could be to push the built catalog to a catalog branch of the inm-icf-utilities repo and then host that via github pages. On merge to main, I would say (i.e. not all PRs)

We could make use of publishing releases to: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/github/

Or just pushing to a specific branch directly: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/git-push/#conclusion

Another option: deposit build artifacts using appveyor and then use a github action (on merge to main) to fetch that artifact (https://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts/#permalink-to-the-last-successful-build-artifact) and merge it into the catalog branch.

I think putting it into a github release is not too bad. I did something like this with the Windows installer
