build appimage for scrcpy using github actions

[aditya24raj]

i was trying use --otg option but could not as packages were outdated on ubuntu 21.10. scrcpy packages are outdated on most of the linux distributions. creating an appimage can provide latest packages, without having users to compile from source.

this PR creates appimage on push or pull request to main branch and appimage is uploaded as an artifact. it would be helpful if i can get any suggestion to improve this workflow.

@aditya24raj I'd working on an AppImage for a completely different project due to personal needs. I believe AppImageBuilder would be one of the best options here to execute the job. AppImageBuilder.zip

I'm also attaching here the dockerfile I built (you don't need most of it but some is useful) and the AppImageBuilder.yml that is used in the docker container (in the same zip file). AppImageBuilder.zip

@rom1v With AppImage, as long as you package correctly, the only dependency becomes having a display server (X or Wayland) and linux kernel 3.2 or above (I think that's the version, if not, it's some 3.X). Otherwise, it works in all non-specialized linux distros (specialized ones being the ones made for highly skilled people)
