switching to pip install directly in AppImage

The previous solution of doing the `pip install` with the system's python, then rsync'ing into the AppImage had a couple issues:

 1. It was overwriting bin/python3.7 with a symlink back outside the AppImage, totally defeating the purpose of the AppImage and causing issues with systems that don't have python3.7 installed (see https://github.com/maltfield/cross-platform-python-gui/issues/4)

 2. It means that the system must have the same python version as the python version that's in our base python AppImage

I'm attempting to do this the proper way, but it's currently failing on my local system with this error:

	+ /tmp/appimagetool.AppImage /tmp/kivy_appdir dist/helloWorld.AppImage

I'm hoping that this is a memory-bound issue and it will "just work" on the GitHub shared runner cloud *fingers crossed*
