fix(appimage): build AppRun with bounded argument splitting

AppRun v2.0.0, which appimage-builder downloads, copies each argument
into a 1 KiB stack buffer in apprun_shell_split_arguments, so any
argument of 1024 bytes or more aborts the AppImage with "buffer overflow
detected" before RustDesk starts (e.g. --connect with a 10000-char id).

Build AppRun from the v2.0.0 commit with a patch that sizes the buffer
from the input and stops the quote/escape scanning at the terminating
NUL, in ubuntu:16.04 like upstream's release, and put it where
appimage-builder looks before downloading.
