Avoid 3-staged warnings in installation flow on Windows, get around "Gate Keeper" on macOS #73

Description

@kilrau

Currently Windows Users are facing three different scary-looking warnings when downloading the XUD Explorer Binary with Chrome and running it for the first time:

  1. Chrome throwing this on beginning of download: "This file is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous." -> discard/Keep"
  2. Chrome throwing this after download completed: "temporarily unsafe (hacked)" -> "Discard/Keep anyway"
  3. Windows SmartScreen

#3 is easily fixed with an EV developer certificate.

#1 + #2 can be fixed by different means, but according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12231581/program-download-ie-chrome-is-not-commonly-downloaded-and-could-be-dangerou easiest by uploading the .exe to Google Drive - pretty evil by Google but it works and avoids any warning within Chrome.
