Revert dependency updates made between 4.0.0 and 4.1.0

[buffcode]

electron-builder currently won't upgrade app-builder, because the compression modifiers somehow break: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/6684

As such electron-builder is stuck to 4.0.0 and is unable to incorporate other bugfixes such as https://github.com/develar/app-builder/issues/63 (see https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/6710#issuecomment-1180732439).

I propose to revert the dependency changes inflicting problems with AppImages until this can be resolved, in order to unlock the other patches downstream.

Thanks for your consideration!

CC @develar could you please take a look at this? It'd be great to update electron-builder to latest app-builder but the current release breaks AppImages

@mmaietta I think the root cause is that mksquashfs in appimage-13 doesn't support gzip.

In https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder-binaries/blob/master/zstd-linux.sh: Why do you set GZIP_SUPPORT to 0 and set COMP_DEFAULT to zstd? If we don't set these special params, I think it will works well.

I published 4.2.0, @mmaietta please update the version in electron-builder.

@develar I've attempted to update the dependency in electron-builder but mac and linux CI tests are failing. Can you please take a look? EACCES error code is being thrown with the 4.2.0 update

I need this modification in order to have a working electron-builder. Any news on this?
