[REQUEST] AppImage release option

[JaxxArmstrong]

Hello,

Thank you for this resource monitoring utility, but may I recommend that you consider package it as an AppImage for easy of use and wider adoption, please.

AppImages are very easy to create and can easily be automated for new releases.

I would argue that downloading the btop.tbz for your architecture, unpacking and double-clicking install.sh is easy enough.
It's already statically compiled so will work unless you've got a really outdated kernel (older than 3.2.0).

I'm hoping that it will eventually get picked up by package maintainers for the different distros (like what happened with bashtop and bpytop).

But it's also worth considering that I released it yesterday, so there's likely plenty of bugs to still fix before considering it absolutely stable.

For information, btop builds fine on CentOS-7 x86_64 with the devtoolset-10 toolchain.

Also would like to see AppImage, somehow it feels right for this kind of software. Similar libs are also distributed in the format:
https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop/releases
https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/releases.

The install script is certainly easy and you made it look really good (just like the whole lib), but having the OS integration, sandboxing and updating handled on all Linux flavors by the same distribution mechanism seems quite valuable. I'm still rather new to Linux development but could give appimage-builder a try if you're not opposed to it @aristocratos
