Watchman: Ridiculously large Linux binary

Really, 182MB to watch for file changes?! What goes in there, a whole distro, including a filesystem?

This is from the latest artifact. Please tell me something has gone wrong and that's an outlier version or something.

It's debug information produced by the RelWithDebInfo cmake build mode that we're using. You can strip the binary to bring it down to a more reasonable size. We'll get the CI to do that automatically.
