AppImage does not start on non-glibc (gnu_dev_makedev: symbol not found) and needs local-installed libfuse2 #485

Describe the bug
Starting the run-everywhere AppImage doesn't work.

To Reproduce
Try to start that on any system that has no libfuse2 (still allows to run extracted) or does not use glibc (does not start at all, error message shown in ldd).

Expected behavior
Should open.

Additional context
If I understood AppImage/AppImageKit#877 correctly then the AppImage needs to be built differently using appimagetool --runtime-file with the type2-runtime.

This allows the user to run the appimage on non fuse2 systems (all
moderns systems use fuse3). This is archived by using the static
appimage runtime. Since linuxdeploy doesn't support changing the runtime
I only use it to create the appdir directory. Then I use the original
appimagetool to package the appimage using the static runtime.

This should also make it possible to run the appimage on a non glibc
system but I don't have access to one so I can't test it.

fixes: #485
