Add AppImage Building Capabilities (Take two) + Adds a GitHub Actions flow that builds an AppImage (see AppImages.org) that can produce a monolithic magic binary ~ Fix a portability issue in tcltk/magic.sh.in This binary should theoretically work on any Linux distro with Glibc 2.3+ and Cairo 1.8+, which is any up to date distro in the last decade.
