Issue:
LinuxDeploy replaced `VERSION` Environment Variable with `LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_VERSION`
### Describe the bug

LinuxDeploy has [replaced](https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage/commit/9aafc9c98f7267b2a5d714ccaee79d52decaf4db) `VERSION` with `LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_VERSION`; I believe this is because one of the AppImage tools uses `VERSION` for something else.

For the time being, `VERSION` will be used as a fallback with the warning below:
```
[appimage/stderr] Warning: please use $LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_VERSION instead of $VERSION
```

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run `briefcase upgrade linuxdeploy`
2. See output from `briefcase build linux appimage`

### Expected behavior

The new setting is used. Setting both avoids the warning.

### Screenshots
