[Cin] August/September changes with new AppImages

[Igor BEGHETTO]

Thanks Phyllis and all of You!
I downloaded the "CinGG-20240930-alternative_shortcuts.AppImage" to use 
on UbuntuStudio_16.04.
For now, only loaded some my old projects.
Thanks!

> GIT for Cinelerra-GG has the following changes from 08/01/2024-09/30/2024
>
> *Library Upgrades:*
> *Dcraw* has been updated to the latest version of 1.478. It was 1.477 
> of 2016 and should
>   have been updated earlier to the last 2018 version from Dave Coffin. 
> It looks like there are 50+
>   additional cameras added, such as the GoPro HERO5 Black, Nikon 
> COOLPIX 8700, Fujifilm X-T2,
>   Olympus TG-5, Sony ILCE-9, etc.
> *Flac* library was upgraded from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3 and may be slightly 
> faster on encoding.
> *Giflib* has been updated from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2 just to keep it to the 
> most recent version.
> *SVT_AV1* has been upgraded to 2.2.1 from 1.8.0 and appears to be 
> somewhat faster on encoding.
>   Terje’s test show about 14% faster in 1 case and 41% faster in 
> another case. File size could be about
>   12% bigger – but your results could be wildly different.
> *Openjpeg *was upgraded from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2.
> *Tiff *4.6.0 has been updated to 4.6.0t which puts back a lot of 
> things that had been deleted in 4.6.0 due
>   to security.
> *X264* is now up to the date of May, 2024 as release r3191 from 
> previous release of r3106.
>
> Render format, av1.webm, has been renamed *av1_aom.webm* and keyframes 
> placed judiciously in
>  order that seeks will work better in CinGG. Change courtesy of 
> *Terje*’s testing work.
> *Andrew mods* *and fixes *include:
> - An additional info/detail in the Resources window for ffmpeg files 
> that have transfer/primaries color
