"perf-x86_64.AppImage"), but would also apply to all other scenarios
where users symlink or rename perf themselves:
Status quo with the broken behavior:
$ ln -s ./perf ./perf-custom-suffix
$ ./perf-custom-suffix list
cannot handle custom-suffix internally$
Also note the missing newline at the end of the error message.
