Convert X64 AppImage to static runtime

Pull Request Type

• Feature Implementation

Related issue

Closes #5714 #5641 but not fully since I was only able to do this for the X64 build.

Description

This change drops libfuse2 dependency from the AppImage, which prevents them from working on newer distros that no longer ship libfuse2.

Testing

Artifact

Desktop

• OS: Artix Linux
• OS Version: Rolling release (Kernel: Linux 6.10.10-artix1-1)
• FreeTube version: 0.21.3-nightly-13

Additional context

I was not able to fix this on the arm builds because even though I tried using the same runners that the upload actions for those use, it complains that it can't execute the appimage to extract it, which is needed in order to convert it.

Could you please use the filename everywhere, as you currently have a mix of using the filename in some places and wild cards in others. Additionally it probably makes sense to assign the filename to a variable after the cd build command and reference that variable.

I haven't tested the generated AppImage yet (need to boot up my Ubuntu VM and figure out how to run and then afterwards remove AppImages).

I'm okay with doing this after build hack for the moment but in the long run it would be much better if electron-builder handled that for us, that way people would be able to reproduce the builds easier on their own machines without having to do these steps manually after the build. As for the why it does't work for the arm AppImage, that's because the GitHub runners are x64, so it would probably be a lot better if electron-builder produced the AppImages with the static runtimes in the first place instead of having to do this patching after the fact.

Done, worth mentioning that using appimagetool gives the ability of creating the .zsync files that allow for delta updates in the AppImage with AppImageUpdate, which I will try to add after this PR.
