Buttercup-desktop: Appimage renames self after update

[FuridamuFaita]

I am using linux and i use alacarte to make an icon on the side menu for easy access to buttercup. When updating the app image, for example it is now Buttercup-linux-x64-2.0.0.AppImage* and its updated to Buttercup-linux-x64-2.1.1.AppImage*

The name of the AppImage changes (the version part)

Now i have to go to alacarte again and make a new icon entering the icon image again and the executable path with the new AppImage name. I wish the version in the name of the AppImage do not change.

We're probably not going to change the name in the releases list.. All files there should remain versioned. I _do_ however agree that the file should not be renamed after an auto-update.. This appears to be an Electron builder issue. We do not rename the file.

I'd happy accept a PR for this, but it's not something I know how to fix. By the looks of it there are similar (yet not quite the same) issues on the electron builder repo:

• https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/5239
• https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/5477

I'm going to remove the version from the AppImage filename - this seems to be the accepted solution for electron artifacts using electron-updater.
