Research direction

The issue requests mounting /proc and /sys in the testappimage script, and adding support for type 2 AppImages. The script likely resides in the repository, possibly tests/testappimage. To implement, first identify the testappimage script (likely a shell script) and understand its current structure. Then, add mount commands for /proc and /sys. For type 2 AppImages, research the AppImage type 2 format and adjust the script's handling accordingly. There are 7 comments in the issue that may provide additional context.
