Add Built-in AppImage Maker

See original GitHub issue

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage

I would rather not have code that calls the AppImage creator inside of Electron Forge, but rather it should be a separate package like the ones for .deb, .rpm, and Flatpak. (electron-installer-appimage?)

Just ran into this error myself. Is depending on that patched version: trusktr/electron-forge-maker-appimage#patch-1 still a viable solution, or is there another AppImage maker?

@stevewillard I’ve forked @trusktr’s repository and done some improvements into the code. Currently I use my fork for my own Electron-based project.

Getting the same error @DinkoMiletic. Did you manage to fix it?
