linux: add support for AppImage packages

Browse Source

AppImage is a more flexible packaging solution for Linux than what
PyInstaller currently offers.

Some of the benefits are:

- Ability to ship the app with predefined environment variables
(solving issues like #321)
- Improved integration with the desktop environment (if you're using
go-appimage[1] or libappimage[2])
- Much lighter in size (~27 MB difference)

To actually make the AppImage, I'm using appimage-builder[3], which
makes the process a bit easier.

For more details about the AppImage technology, check out their
website[4].
