Remove libappimage git submodule

The submodule is replaced with CMake FetchContent commands, which fetch the source at configure time (We need to include scripts.cmake from libappimage. ExternalProject_Add only downloads at build time).

Also update libappimage version to latest (otherwise the build fails on g++11) and patch in AppImageCommunity/libappimage#160 (to allow using latest libappimage in AppImageKit.

Also update squashfs-tools version to latest release (otherwise the build fails on g++11)

Also related to #1165
