Release versions/v1.0.md

Release v1.0 of the spec.

Proposed changes:

Mandate that the type-2 AppImage runtime must be statically linked so that it can run on non-glibc systems and will not require libraries such as libfuse2
Mandate the use of the squashfs file format with zstandard compression for type-2 AppImages

References:

Use zstd compression

Consider making the environment variable $TARGET_APPIMAGE mandatory as a courtesy for 3rd party launchers

Redundancy to #38.

Apparently zstandard already has a successor: OpenZL. It needs to be checked out.
