Note: This release requires OSTree 2016.14

Major changes in 0.6.14
=======================
 * Update bundled bubblewrap to 0.1.4 which has some nice bugfixes.
   If you are using an external bubblewrap it is recommended, but
   not required to update.
 * Requires OSTree 2016.14, which allows us to drop some old
   workarounds.
 * When installing an application system-wide, don't consider
   dependencies that are installed for the user only.
 * Flatpak install --from now tries to re-use existing remotes to
   avoid creating unnecessary origin remotes.
 * Using --filesystem=$dir when $dir is a symlink-to-directory now works.
 * Using --filesystem=$file to expose unix sockets to the app is now
   allowed.
 * By default all the directories in ~/.var/app (except the app), as
   well as ~/.local/share/flatpak are hidden in the sandbox.
 * New option --filesystem=$dir:create which will create the destination
   if it did not previously exist.
 * --filesystem= now supports for xdg-[config|cache|data]. This
   allows you access to the host versions of these xdg dirs. Additionally
   if you use these with a subdirectory, like:
     --filesystem=xdg-config/subdir
   then that subdirectory on the host will be shared with the per-app
   instance of the xdg-dir.
 * Builder now correctly handles app-ids that have dashes in them.
   Previously this generated invalid ids for the debuginfo and locale
   extensions.
 * The experimental OCI file format support was changed from creating an
   OCI container to creating an OCI image.
 * Fix regression where "flatpak update --appstream remotename" broke
