Simplify build script/process

[thomaseizinger]

Problem

Currently, we have 2 feature flags and several conditional code paths to support windows or unix, depending on which platform we want to build for. This is because cargo does not support compiling a dependency with different features based on the target platform..

Goal

No feature-flags in our build process for support multiple platforms. cargo build should work on each platform (Linux, Windows, MacOS) and produce a binary that works.

Recommendation

I believe we might be able to fix some thing things downstream in the shiplift crate that would allow us to "just" depend on shiplfit and shiplift it self compiles according to the target platform without and special feature flags.
