How to change splash screen in digiKam AppImage?

[Gilles Caulier]

Note : AppImage can take options on command line. For ex :

- ./digikam-5.4.0-x86_64.appimage showfoto => start Showfoto instead digiKam
-./digikam-5.4.0-x86_64.appimage debug => run digiKam in debuuger to get
crash backtrace.

More options will come with next version.
