Syncplay 1.6.9

Mostly a bug-fix release:

To help address future issues of this nature Syncplay now also sends information on the system's platform when updating.

• Bundle libxcb1 into AppImage to fix problems on Debian 10 (issue #380 reported by @zyusouken , resolved by @daniel-123)
• Bundle libgthread-2.0.so.0 into AppImage (PR #432 by @teohhanhui to address their issue #431)
• Update and improve Brazilian Portuguese translation (PR #422 by @AtilioA)
