Issue created by <https://github.com/xobs|xobs>
The template for submitting a bug report instructs users to upload the issue report by compressing it as either a `.tar.gz` or as a `.zip` (<https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml#L43|https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml#L43>)

However, sometimes issues can be very large, and even the compressed report can exceed this issue (e.g. <https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/issues/1603|#1603>).

The issue template should provide advice on acceptable alternatives, especially given that it emphatically states that the issue report is a requirement for submitting the issue.

Possible solutions include:

• Suggest a file hosting service that users should use
• Describe what alternatives are acceptable for splitting files
• Provide a Makefile target to compress and/or split issue reports into acceptable chunks
• Support additional file types with better compression, such as `.tar.xz`
