Build on the oldest still-supported LTS release of Ubuntu, currently Xenial

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

2. Try to run on Xenial

Context

Prevents the AppImage to pass the automated test on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io

Try running from the terminal adding --no-sandbox

i.e.

./safe-browser-v0.17.0-alpha.11-linux-x64.AppImage --no-sandbox

No change. The reason is that the system was built on a too new system, and hence requires a too new library version.
