Small changes... big numbers!
This release brings small changes to the way the CLI interacts with the system... but also an increase in the number of apps in the database.
There are 122 more programs available than in version 9.9.2, released three weeks ago... bringing the total to 2,779 unique programs (2,368 AppImage packages and 411 programs in other portable formats).
Small fix for LAUNCHERS_DIR when using appman
In custom setups that have alternate launcher locations (.desktop files) for locally installed apps, this change fixes the issue of apps disappearing from the menu.
Add "AM-GUI"
Welcome to the first GUI for AM and AppMan, created by our collaborator @Shikakiben.

NOTE: This interface is still experimental and can be further improved.
To install/test it, use the command
am -i am-gui
or
appman -i am-gui

Thanks @Shikakiben
Change the way to detect Namespaces restrictions
AM/AppMan and Archimage have one thing in common: a Namespace Restrictions check!
These restrictions have been active since 2023 on Ubuntu and many of its derivatives. They prevent the operation of many applications that use sandboxing alternatives to AppArmor, such as many Chromium-based programs... and Archimages, which can switch between using proot and bwrap if the latter doesn't have permissions.
Some changes in Ubuntu have eased these restrictions, but they have made it impossible to identify them.
To avoid blacklisting Ubuntu itself and any distribution based on it, we have changed this control in both AM/AppMan and Archimages (for which it will be effective with the next scheduled workflow run in their own repositories, starting from today).
Possible further solutions are welcome.
