[Bug Report] nRFConnect 3.2.0 AppImage fails to launch on Debian

The most recent nRFConnect AppImage version (3.2.0) fails to launch on a Debian system due to chrome-sandbox file permission errors.

Steps to reproduction:

1. In a recent 64-bit x86 Debian environment download the appropriate nRFConnect for Desktop AppImage package;

2. Enable execution of the AppImage package with chmod +x;

3. Attempt to launch the AppImage from a command line as an ordinary user.

Step 3 will fail with an error message relating to a missing setuid permission bit on the chrome-sandbox executable.

Workaround:

This error can be circumvented by adding the --no-sandbox option to the AppImage command line argument list.  The application will launch and operate as normal, however I am unsure of any adverse effects that disabling sandboxing may have.
