Getting lots of

It would be useful if the filename was printed too, to make some sense of the output.

We can now see which files are "Unknown AppImage format". Basically all files that are not AppImages, of which I have a lot in my (sub)directories (next to AppImages). For example:

ERROR: appimage_get_type : Unknown AppImage format: /isodevice/Applications/Firefox-64.0.glibc2.3.4-x86_64.AppImage.home/.cache/mozilla/firefox/zc7vuyd1.default/cache2/entries/6F8C87BA59FD179566B173D253966BD1F181CAE4

Of course this is not an AppImage file.

Hence, a file that is not an AppImage should not throw an error or be reported on the command line (unless in special debugging mode).

should be fixed by #112

Please always confirm using a continuous appimaged build from Travis CI build that the changes are actually working. Thanks!
