Description

Running dev/release/05-binary-upload.sh takes a long time and is prone to network failures, etc. When it fails, it needs to be started from scratch.

IMO we could alleviate this. An idea here would be to run the script in the same order of the configuration variables that it has (e.g. `UPLOAD_AMAZON_LINUX_RPM`) and echo the variable when binaries corresponding to that section are complete.

This way, when something fails, as a user I can pass r.g. `UPLOAD_AMAZON_LINUX_RPM=0` and skip the parts that were already uploaded.
