Description:
Switch away from debian package (still outdated at 0.20.2) to the github appimage release.
Benefits of this PR and context:
In short, currently it provides Freecad 1.0 which is much improved over 0.20.2
Updated to always point to the "latest" release by default. However I did test and it is possible to use 0.20.2 as a build arg to build 0.20.2 as an example. The weekly release I think will only work, if they contain an asset for x86_64 or aarch64 which sometimes for me didn't work.
So, unlike PR #6 this does not have the release hardcoded. I used the orcaslicer repo for inspiration.
How Has This Been Tested?
Built the latest version using command:
Then stopped my container, deleted it and used docker compose to load it up. I then browsed to the url to confirm version 1.0.0 is installed and usable.
docker-compse:
In the browser, it looks like this:

Tested the version ARG with:
This also worked in the browser showing the expected version is installed.
