Poll about future of Linux builds

@IlyaFedin, who made AppImage builds for fork, suggested to keep only AppImage from Linux builds.

Advantages:
• lower binary size (50 MB AppImage vs 100 MB static binary)
• easier and faster builds (less waiting for release)
• can automatically take icon theme and font settings from GTK without qt5ct (system icons support without unnecessary installs)
• supports Kvantum themes
• more supported systems (Ubuntu 14.04+, static binary built on 16.04)

From what I see, only drawback here is an update size (50 MB AppImage vs 30 MB static binary). If you have any problem with AppImage, that wasn't on static binary, share it in comments. Also vote in poll on how do you like this idea.

Convenient links:
• Static binary: suggested to remove
• AppImage: suggested to make only official build for Linux

Please note, that it won't change building for individual distros. The question is about builds that are posted on this channel and GitHub.
