Subject: [PATCH] Publish separate extension-only zip alongside source archive

Chrome requires manifest.json at the zip root for Web Store submission
and manual unpacked loading. The whole-repo git archive added for the
native-host installer buried it under extension/, so publish both: a
manifest-at-root extension zip and the full-repo source zip.
