Embed version in AppImages

[TheAssassin]

Your AppImages work quite well. One thing I'm missing, though, is to have a version set in those. Often, I have more than one AppImage on my system, integrated via AppImageLauncher. Then, both show up as "Nextcloud" in the apps menu.

All you have to do is export VERSION=... before you call appimagetool/linuxdeploy/linuxdeployqt/... Then, the version is embedded in the desktop file automatically as X-AppImage-Version. AppImageLauncher (and other tools) then can show this version in the app menus.

This makes using your AppImages a lot easier and straightforward. One can easily spot the old AppImage, for instance, and remove it conveniently.

this seems somewhat related to #168

The only thing these issues have in common is that they focus on the AppImage release, but that's it.

that's why I said 'somewhat' :p
I also think the same script would have to be patched, so perhaps the script linked there is useful for you?
