[Cin] Run And Integrate Cinelerra AppImage With AppImageLauncher

[Terje J. Hanssen]

Phyllis,

Just a minor suggestion I forgot to mentione:

The file *README.appimag*e works fine to read with cat (cli), but I 
experienced that usual dual mouse-click on it in a GUI file browser 
(Gnome Files) can't open it, because is recognized to be of file type 
Appimage (which it isn't).

I rather renamed it to *README_appimage.txt* or optionally just 
*README_appimage* which both worked the usual gui way 😉
