Specifying "exec" for the sandboxed home mount

Hi,

I ran into an issue with the Steam application. It wants to install an
executable into the home partition. I am testing on a system with home
mounted as noexec, and it seems that gets propagated to the sandboxed home
mount when running the flatpak.

I think I can work around this by bind mounting ~/.var and remounting it
with the exec flag, but I was wondering if there's a way to fix this in
flatpak itself.
