Executable information

The Binner.Web executable is of fairly large size because of .Net Core's single file publishing (PublishSingleFile). Essentially it bundles all of the dependent libraries into a single archive that will be extracted to .Net's temp folder for a smaller distribution. This only happens once, so the initial run will be a little slower than subsequent runs.
