Run smoke test with appimagetool during CI pipelines #58

To make sure that appimagetool can work with the produced binaries, we should build it and run a short smoke test (i.e., build an AppImage, e.g., of appimagetool itself). That way, we make sure we don't accidentally break the relation between the two projects.

Won't that increase the build time in this repository tremendously? What is the advantage over just telling the appimagetool repository to trigger a build? (You referred to "dependency hell" but I don't quite understand how the solution proposed above is better.)
