Most of the distros provides the dictionary pre-installed but
some like Gentoo not. So, let's bundle "share/libthai" for
maximum portability.
It was changed to "GIMP-continuous-ARCH.AppImage" because
I had hope of linking GitLab artifacts on gimp-web (which failed)
so let's use "GIMP-GIMP_VERSION-ARCH.AppImage" again.
Also, uppercase AppId 'Continuous' suffix to be consistent with Flatpak.
Partially reverts e01973b9
This makes the AppImage .sh script multiarch aware and
make Debian pipeline a GL 'matrix' for easier maintenance.
As consequence, making an arm64 .appimage is pretty easy now,
so let's make one since this arch is not that rare in Linux.
This provides us fine-grained info on how much time each step take,
making easier to spot stuckness and to quickly understand the logs.
'gimp' jobs normally do not take advantage on this due to log limits
(they expand and crop the log), so I adapted them to only output errors.

Also, to reduce logs, all jobs were reviewed with proper GIT_* variables.
The "AppImage platform" don't have releases, every tool is blending edge.
Obviously, it is too prone to broke, and for the first time it got broken.
So, let's move it to a separate job and with less frequency to not broke CI.
The latest appimagetool inserts a runtime with static libfuse in the .appimage.
It also makes the .appimage run way faster and slightly better compressed.

This avoids calling host libs, fixing the last pendency on !1440 desc.
In other words, the AppImage now can be run, in thesis, in any distro.

Every artifact from our CI have a pretty name with some reason for it:
- Installer: it is this way on download.gimp.org since ever(?) and that's fine
- Store: follows Microsoft de facto spec of .msix files naming
- AppImage: follows AppImage draft spec of .appimage files naming
But the .flatpak just looks like AUR pkg. So, let's use reverse DNS
naming which is used at least for .flatpakref files. This makes more sense.
Fixes: #12237
We were building with that option disabled here because it was making our
runners to randomly fail at building it. However, that option disabled also
makes some machines to fail, due to its low-level nature. So, there is no
fix for it(?), let's enable then and hope the runners willn't fail again.
Despite building GIMP with Clang helped a lot to make our deps builds robust,
it is very hard to maintain, not because of LLVM but because of freedesktop.
We needed to ensure that the branch of LLVM matched the one of freedesktop on
which GNOME SDK is based. That stopped to work resulting on bad inconsistency:
1) flathub never had a problem; 2) GNOME runners sometimes worked, others not;
3) locally it stopped to work completely, so the .json right now is unportable.
Some annoying bugs were:
- "error: Requested extension *llvm* not installed"
- "Similar refs found for *llvm*"
So, let's end this not using any extension anymore while keeping only the nice
improvements in the custom builds.
GNOME docker image and Flathub runner seems to use edge flatpak-builder,
which auto set -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR option, crucial for some deps.
Pre-1.4.3 versions don't do this so the build fails in some machines.
Let's prevent this making the script more clear about flatpak-builder.
The previous comment is wrong, because GIMP never had WMF export. Let's
clarify, however, that WMF support is still tricky because of some
options available at configure time regarding 'fontmap' and so on.

Since our official builds tends to be vanilla (only using meson
standard options), there is no need to shipping these lua files.
This commit can be reverted in the future if Lua is stable again.
- Simplify three functions into 'bund_usr' (similar to 'bundle' in Win script)
- Add 'wipe_usr' function (similar to 'clean' in Win script)
- Verbose the steps of AppImage making
- Log (go)appimagetool bundling of deps (not only the the .appimage making)
- Change AppRun to be more clear about our .appimage compatibility
This refactoring is not perfect but is good enough to anyone understand
how our AppImage is made just reading the script.
This should be enough to not "annoy" developers with repetitive ninja and
not too relevant appimagetool output. This makes easier to devs to look at
the runner log without needing to revert 9653e50e (the revert/split would
make us lose .appimage in some custom Deb pipelines and 50% of ccache hits).
luajit download server to tarballs stopped to work, which is expected,
since it was advised by the team in https://luajit.org/download.html:
"Please do not use obsolete versions from older tarballs or zip files.
Please remove any outdated links to these downloads — these links will
cease to work soon."
We also will not use the official git server since it does not support
all git clone features, which makes flatpak-builder cloning stage fail.

Regarding lua-lgi, we will not use the latest commit since seems that
our goat exercises or gobject-introspection or lua-lgi iteself is broken
since lua-lgi commit: 3f47eb57ef5a84be878ce33c15b7ff037059b08d
Some parts of the README got obscured or dated with time. Let's improve them:
- Remove redundant text about keeping GIMP buildable (it's already said on
Cod. Style and Dev rights pages on gimp-web-devel, and not flatpak specific)
- Remove text about 1-hour timeout which isn't true according to my tests,
specially after the improvements of splitted jobs and updated build options
- Reorder Anitya text to before "module dropping" text, it's linear this way
("module dropping" by checking runtime is last step of module cycle of life)
- Remove very confusing "flatpak run... gimp" line which was breaking the
explanation flow about "module dropping" and it's not too useful since the
manifest (which is only a bit different) can be acessed in-source with tags
- Changed title from "Mantaining the manifest" to "Mantaining the modules"
- Added not so clear "Versioning the flatpak" to separate it from other modules
text. The title is not perfect, but at least make a needed pause on reading
