/**
 * Script to generate electron-builder.json config files for builds which don't match package.json, e.g. nightlies
 * This script has different outputs depending on your os platform.
 *
 * On Windows:
 *  Prefixes the nightly version with `0.0.1-nightly.` as it breaks if it is not semver
 *
 * On Linux:
 *  Replaces spaces in the product name with dashes as spaces in paths can cause issues
 *  Passes --deb-custom-control to build.deb.fpm if specified
