Velero: release tarball: prefix by a directory
Describe the solution you'd like
In the grand 'ol tradition of tarballs it would be nice if velero prefixed all of its files by a directory instead of dropping a LICENSE file into whatever directory I am extracting into.
What I expect to happen:
$ tar xzvf velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/LICENSE
velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/config/README.md
velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/config/aws/05-backupstoragelocation.yaml
velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/...
velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/velero
What happens today:
$ tar xzvf velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
LICENSE
config/README.md
config/aws/05-backupstoragelocation.yaml
...
velero
Anything else you would like to add:
I don't know how the release tarballs are generated but GNU tar can do this:
tar cf archive.tar velero LICENSE --transform 's,^,velero-v0.11.0-linux-amd64/,'

thanks @philips, we should be able to do this for the next release.
We need to update the .goreleaser.yml file - the archive section (https://github.com/heptio/velero/blob/master/.goreleaser.yml#L43) needs to set wrap_in_directory to true (see https://goreleaser.com/archive/).
We should also review the install docs to see if any bash snippets or instructions need to be updated to account for the directory.
