[TODO] Make a new AppImage

[Ryochan7]

It is about time a new AppImage gets published especially with the updates to BLE support. For a lot of people running updated Linux distros, a BLE connection is not possible with the currently available SC Controller releases. There are probably a few small tasks that I should get taken care of before pushing a new binary release.

Tentative task list:

• Ensure a semi-distro agnostic AppImage can be built on Fedora 35. Going to test AppImage on at least Fedora 35, Ubuntu 20.04, and Manjaro
• Double check behavior of updated rumble emulation support. Feels a lot better to me in Streets of Rage 4 but I have actually not tried it in Saints Row 4 yet
• Double check long packet handling in BLE reader
• Check test suite

Didn't even know a new Ubuntu LTS release came out tbh. Anyway, got the list of tasks done. Getting an updated AppImage made ended up being a pretty big problem due to the deprecation of distutils and setuptools not working like it probably should; ended up finding a workaround from pip and how it invokes setup.py for local package installs. All targets have been tested and work. Except for updating the program version, everything should be in order. A new release should be coming out soon™.

pypa/setuptools#130

Got a new release out and a working AppImage uploaded. More changes to the project since the last release than I originally thought. Going to wait a few days before I close this issue.
