Fix appimage build script
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the build script to download a newer version of the standard AppImage packaging tool (appimagetool) and records the matching SHA256 checksum. There is no indication of a security vulnerability or malicious change in the diff itself.
No security action required. As a routine hygiene step, maintainers may verify the new SHA256 against the official go-appimage release page (https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/releases) before merging, which the commit comment already references.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change in appimage/build_appimage.sh updates the pinned appimagetool release from build 911 to build 940 and updates the EXPECTED_SHA256 to the corresponding new hash. The script still verifies the downloaded file against the expected hash before use. No code logic, cryptographic handling, wallet functionality, or network behavior is modified.
