This is more or less feature complete for what will be in 1.4, which I
expect shortly. So, please test this and give feedback.

This version changes how default remotes are configured. We still
use files in /etc/flatpak/remotes.d, however instead of the old
*.conf files we now use regular flatpakrepo files, and the first
time you use flatpak these are automatically imported.

The advantage of this new model is that the configuration is imported
once, but then becomes writable and removable, just like a manually
added remote. In the previous model the remote was always there and it
was impossible to change or remove.

However, this means that anyone currently shipping a .conf file with
a distro needs to change this to a .flatpakrepo file.

 * Support for flatpakrepo files in /etc/flatpak/remotes.d
 * Support for client side filtering of a remote. This allows you
   to limit what apps are seen from a remote, using either a whitelist
   or a blacklist model.
 * Add library API to easily add remotes from flatpakref files.
 * Fix the dconf support.
 * Fix app updates in system-wide OCI remotes.
 * Fix CLI completion if G_MESSAGES_DEBUG is set
 * Add a docker seccomp profile for running flatpak inside a container.
 * Look for the new default dbus session socket at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus
 * Improve ability to pull from multiple p2p sources (needs latest ostree).
