Support RHEL Based distros for Deskop Client App Image

With the announcement that Aspera Connect will be end of life soon, it's critical that RHEL based distributions are supported with the AppImage Desktop Client. Many customers in the Media and Entertainment industry used RHEL based distros, including Rocky and Alma.

Please see the linked document for a summary of Linux used in Visual Effects.  As you can see Rocky is by far the most used Linux Operating System.
