How to change splash screen in digiKam AppImage?

[Gilles Caulier]

For the next 5.5.0, the CLI option of AppImage will be :

[gilles at localhost digikam5]$ ./digikam-5.5.0-01-x86-64.appimage help
digiKam AppImage bundle CLI options:
 without option     : run digiKam.
 <showfoto>         : run Showfoto instead digiKam.
 <debug>            : run digiKam into GDB.
 <debug> <showfoto> : run Showfoto into GDB.
 <help>             : show this help.

You can continue to pass showfoto and digiKam extra arguments as usual.

ex to show showfoto help :

[gilles at localhost digikam5]$ ./digikam-5.5.0-01-x86-64.appimage showfoto
--help
...
