AppImage - Include `GLIBC` and `GLIBCXX` in the package #17283

Suggestion

Make the AppImage more self contained by packaging GLIBC and GLIBCXX inside it, so that it can run on older systems than the system where the AppImage was built.

It's discussed here:

And possible with this tool, for instance:

Use case

Make the AppImage able to run on more (older) systems.

Background: I tried running latest qBittorrent AppImage on Peppermint 10 (Ubuntu 18.04) but got errors saying required versions of GLIBC and GLIBCXX was missing. Then did a Google search and found above resources.

It would be nice if these self contained libraries are used just as a fallback, so the AppImage file uses the newer libraries by default if they are available on the system and use the embedded ones only if they are not.
