Motivation for this change
  • avoid to use appimage packer intend to avoid to modify it (copy then patch it) or execute random unofficial packer, this method should work as non-native unpack ...
  • unify extract simplify code and prepare for next appimage type 3.
    both are steps to make appimage packaging fully automatic.

I let people merge the PR before continuing improvements on this topic.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Unityhub fails with and without this PR, nix-review is good for everything else.
