Add support for uploading site via a zip file (reopen)

[yusufnb]

Currently we can deploy from a folder

surge /path/of/site <domain> --token <token>

It would be nice to have an option such as

surge /path/of/site.zip <domain> --token <token>

so the entire site can be uploaded from a zip file.

This comes handy when sites are compiled in cloud and stored as zip. Currently we have to download in a cloud function, unzip in /tmp and run the command, then clean out the files. Doable but since it internally zips the folder anyways, it will be much cleaner to pass the zip directly.

I'm aligned with the concept. However the surge server expects tar.gz format. Are you able to compile to tar on your end?

IIRC the command on your end would be something like this...

  tar -czf site.tar.gz \
    --exclude='.git' \
    --exclude='node_modules' \
    --exclude='.DS_Store' \
    /path/to/site

Hmmm. Yes, I can compile to a tar. Either .tar or .tar.gz both should be good.
