Draft for approaching #19 (as well as #16):

mention icon files below usr/share/icons/hicolor to be taken into account preferred if present
use $APPICON as variable name for the application icon identifier, to remove the otherwise unneeded expectation for being the same string as used for the basename of the desktop file name (the Icon= would be unneeded otherwise)

Sounds reasonable to me. What do others say?

Thanks @kossebau. Please open tickets in any project you may encounter that does not implement this yet, linking to https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/blob/master/draft.md#the-filesystem-image.
