fix: Pin linuxdeploy and plugin versions in create-appimage.sh

- Updated the script to download specific stable versions of linuxdeploy and linuxdeploy-plugin-qt for both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures.
- Enhanced output messages to reflect the version being downloaded.
- Added verbosity option to the linuxdeploy command for cleaner output during AppImage creation.
