This release fixes CVE-2019-10063.

It has been discovered that the previous fix for CVE-2017-5226, which uses
seccomp to prevent sandboxed apps from using the (dangerous) TIOCSTI ioctl
was only incomplete on 64bit arches. This is now fixed.

 * seccomp: Only compare the low 32bit of the TIOCSTI ioctl args.
 * Support multiple nvidia cards on the machine
 * Fix support for systems where XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /var/run which is a symlink
   like gentoo.
 * Fix potential crash when updating apps.
 * flatpak list --arch now works correctly again.
 * Update translations
