This release to the 1.0 old stable series matches some new features
that were added in 1.4.3 stable release. These are backported because
these features are in use on flathub at the moment.

The main feature is the support for allowing the use of extra_data
for runtimes (as opposed to only for apps) which is used by the new
org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 extension.

Supporting this, flatpak now supports specifying several flatpak
versions to require, rather than just a single one. This is used by
the above extension in order to express that it needs flatpak 1.2.5 or
1.4.2 (but not e.g. 1.4.1).

Only the client side features for this are backported. To build such
extensions you need to use a newer flatpak.
