Ability to set restriction to internet and file access by user #1291

Though there are ways to restrict internet access for an app through commands, one need simple ui interface to restrict the access of internet to AppImage and restrict ability to only access particular folders by AppImage. It will be a good security measure. Not sure its need to be implemented in AppImageKit or in third party apps like AppImageLauncher Users can also set the time to automatically remove app permissions after a given period. This could include disabling permissions after 5 minutes, after closing the app, after a day, or after a week.

This is not in the scope of the AppImage file format. It is something that might be implemented in tools like https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage appimaged.
