libcurl3/libcurl4 mismatch issue (version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found)

[shiftkey]

Looks like there's some more work from #102 around managing libcurl.so.4 because of how the Ubuntu toolchain works:

• Trusty installs libcurl3 which does contain libcurl.so.4 but this also contains CURL_OPENSSL_3
• ABI breakage, cannot run application due to CURL_OPENSSL_3 issue curl/curl#2433 indicates this is not done by the curl maintainers, but by the distro maintainers themselves
• other users on newer Ubuntu distros or Arch have noticed this error because their version of libcurl.so.4 does not contain this

A current fix on Arch is to install libcurl-openssl-1.0 from the AUR and then preload that library, eg:

printf "#!/bin/sh\n\nLD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl-openssl-1.0.so /opt/github-desktop/desktop \"\$@\"\n" | install -Dm755 /dev/stdin /usr/bin/github-desktop

and link to that executable in the .desktop file. I'm sure that something similar could be performed on other distros if needed.

I believe this has been resolved with v.2.19.1-3 which is available on NPM with dugite 1.79.0, but it's not going to make it into GitHub Desktop until next week or so.

I've just published 1.5.0-linux1 that should address the libcurl issue on newer distros https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/tag/release-1.5.0-linux1
