ARM AppImage upgrade to Qt 5.6 (will handle plugins that open up a new window)

I'm just making a note that I had deliberately not included a library that is essential for running plugins which open up a new window, because the Debian Dockerfile that I built the ARM AppImage in only had Qt 5.3.2, which did not include that library. It seems that regular master is upgrading to Qt 5.6, so I guess I can go upgrade the ARM Dockerfiles with Qt 5.6 (will probably invovle a self-compile of Qt 5.6).

2.0.3 is built against Qt 5.4.x about evrerywhere. Qt 5 .6 just won't work with MuseScore 2.0.x, as some parts of Qt have been removed. Only the newlayout branch is so far being build against Qt-5.6. Please stick with Qt-5.4.x for MuseSocre 2.0.x for now, anything else is asking for trouble

Ok. The upgrade to Qt5.6 will only be for master builds of ARM AppImage. I've seem to have upgraded the AppImage CentOS x86-64 Recipe to use Qt 5.6, and AppImage of master now seems to work on my computer.
