Subject: [PATCH] downloads: AppImage instructions in Linux section (#237)

* downloads: AppImage instructions in Linux section

Removes the dependencies list from the Linux section, since the downloads page no longer links to the prebuilt binaries and now instead to the AppImage. Adds instructions on how to run the AppImage.
