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.
