To fix #4079 we'll need electron forge to spit out a desktop file with an absolute path for the 'Exec' line. This change directs each linux maker to use a flat, pre-filled desktop file that electronforge calls a 'desktopTemplate'.

The Icon line benefits from this change as well as it is now an absolute path.

This line gets transmuted into the MimeType line in the resulting .desktop file.

The presence of the desktopTemplate line in the forge config causes the defined desktop file to pass through electronforge unchanged iirc.

So it's initially confusing because 'desktopTemplate' here seems to mean a hardcoded file with no symbol substitution behavior from electronforge.
