Provide update information

[Alexis López Zubieta]

The AppImage format support delta updates using zsync files. For this to work an update information string must be passed when the AppImage is being built, like this:

appimagetool AppDir -u "gh-releases-zsync|vim|vim-appimage|latest|GVim-*x86_64.AppImage.zsync"

A zsync file will be generated next to the AppImage file, both file must be published as release artifacts.

Nothing is wrong, just missing. I updated the issue description

[Christian Brabandt]

okay, let's see if this works :/

[Christian Brabandt]

how do you then use the zsync file?

[Alexis López Zubieta]

Applications such as AppImageUpdate or appimage-manager make use of it to update the AppImages.
