Subject: [PATCH] Made `npm run dist` on Linux build an app image.

As discussed in #117, there is no bandwidth for official Linux releases,
but this at least makes getting a working Linux binary from source quite
easy.

An app image is a self-contained binary.
Unlike deb, rpm and flatpak, creating an app image doesn't seem to
require installing any external tooling.
