Removing AppImage distribution

When trying to build the container to build AppImage, the pipeline fails with a local gitlab-runner https://gitlab.com/pinage404/git-gamble/-/jobs/7606019741

I guess it works with the gitlab hosted runner thanks to the cache

For greater stability, i would like to have reproducibility

There is no container image to build the AppImage, no official image, no community image and no individual image https://hub.docker.com/search?q=appimage

To create an AppImage, we have to rebuild a container

There is no stable release, no stable tag on the official repository https://github.com/AppImage/appimagetool/releases

The tool that uses Cargo to generate an AppImage still depends on the presence of AppImageTool in the PATH https://github.com/StratusFearMe21/cargo-appimage

I'm not sure it is really relevant to have a CLI tool distributed with AppImage

I propose to remove the distribution of AppImage

This will enable focus to be shifted to other aspects, such as a more widely adopted distribution system

If no one args against, i will remove it

Nothing prevents its reintroduction if there are requests for it
