AppImage-run segfaults on LittleWeeb (problem with electron-based appimages?)

[tobiasBora]

Describe the bug
AppImage-run segfault without any meaningful error on some programs like LittleWeeb, notably the one based on electron as reported here. I would suggest:

1. to add errors in the appimage-run code in case an assertion fails
2. make sure that by default appimage-run loads most libraries that are frequently assumed to be present in systems, in particular one requires by electron
3. make sure that electron sandboxed app can be run correctly (not sure it works since buildFhsUserEnv seems to be based on bubblewrap that forbid fuse for security reasons).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download LittleWeeb
2. run:

$ appimage-run ~/Documents/Logiciels/Multimedia/fSpy/LittleWeeb-0.4.0.303.AppImage
LittleWeeb-0.4.0.303.AppImage installed in /home/me/.cache/appimage-run/e76971bc65ab44285776e178b26f7b7872412ee0ec495ff204c13cb1fe091a35
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected behavior
I would not expect a segfault.

doesn't boot for me after, but yeah.

another electron appimage (arduino-ide) also doesn't trigger such a segfault for me, tho i haven't gotten that one to work either
