Displaying privilege requirements on Software Centers

Hey,
I wanted to display somehow which resources are going to be required
by an application to the user, so he gets to know before (or after)
installing an application.

Since there's quite some flatpak-specific semantics related I thought
it could make sense to have some discussion about it first, since I'm
guessing other front-ends will need the feature (and I don't know if
it's implemented already, please correct me if I'm wrong) and it
possibly doesn't make sense that all take different routes.

I haven't run it through our visual design group yet, but my
impression is that we'll need an icon + text for each privilege.
Seeing how complex it looks on the metadata file we possibly want to
do some grouping as well.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Aleix
