Detect latest upstream versions

[lwbt]

• Detect latest upstream versions -- now made optional
• Separate appdata.xml from script code (prepare for multi-arch builds)
• Ignore some files
• Without StartupWMClass in the desktop file no icon would be displayed in Gnome dock or Ubuntu declare StartupWMClass in .desktop ghostty-org/ghostty#4930

* Separate appdata.xml from script code (prepare for multi-arch builds)

Thanks for this, I also feel that appdata.xml to be automatically generated as part of the build step.

We should open a upstream issue/discussion to get more insights. Till then we can maintain it here.

Without StartupWMClass in the desktop file no icon would be displayed in Gnome dock or Ubuntu

It also means that the AppImage can't be pinned to the dock on xfce4 and kde, I mean you can but the moment you open the app the icon on the dock would duplicate as result.

This is an easy fix and I will do it.

EDIT: done

It is ready to merge from my point of view. We can remove the custom desktop file as soon as we build a release wich has ghostty-org/ghostty#4930 merged, which should become v1.1.0.
