flutter already brings some libraries and when building the AppImage with linuxdeploy, it bundles some libraries again. Duplicate libraries leads to bigger AppImage size.

Before, the created zip-package was packaged inside the AppImage.
Now the zip is not inside the
bundle/directory, but in therelease/directory, so when copying the contents ofbundle/, the zip does not get involved.Also, now the main branch of thedoctor0/zip-release is being used instead of master, as it is the default branch.
Before,
linuxdeploywas bundling all libraries required by the app, leading to duplicate files, because flutter already provides some essential libraries.Now the
/usr/bin/libdirectory is being searched for libraries and those are being passed to thelinuxdeploycommand with the--exclude-libraryflag.
