Linux x86-64 builds of the Arduino IDE are now available in AppImage format in additional to the ZIP format. Since only the AppImage format IDE supports auto-updates (the IDE installed from the ZIP will notify of available updates, but can't auto-update), this will be the preferred format and so good beta testing coverage of it is especially important.

Motivation
Linux x86-64 builds of the Arduino IDE are now available in AppImage format in additional to the previous ZIP format (#846).
Since only the AppImage format IDE supports auto-updates (the IDE installed from the ZIP will notify of available updates, but can't auto-update), this will be the preferred format and so good beta testing coverage of it is especially important.
Change description
Add Linux x64-64 AppImage option to the "Nightly builds" download link table in the readme.
