AppImage: no desktop entry when appimaged made one or integration is switched off (#1406)

AppRun installs nothing when an appimagekit_*.desktop entry for the same AppImage exists, and removes the entry it wrote earlier. An empty ~/.local/share/solidcraft/no-desktop-integration turns the integration off for good; SOLIDCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1 still works. Getting-started guide documents it. Fixes #1399.
