Why are the prebuilt zip archives so large?

[jqnatividad]

It's because we bundle all the different qsv binary variants in each zip archive so the user has the flexibility to choose which flavor of qsv to use.

Also, for certain architectures where we are compiling natively (i.e. not cross-compiling to other architectures), we also include the nightly qsv variants and bundle in the Python shared library against which qsv was linked as well.

Note that as of qsv 0.71.1, we no longer compile the prebuilt binaries with the python feature enabled, markedly reducing the zip archives as we no longer bundle qsvnp (the now defunct "no python" qsv binary variant) and the python shared library - which by itself was half the size of the archive.
