Setting "version" field in own repository

[Dan Nicholson]

If you're not using flat-manager, you need to generate the repo metadata
with flatpak build-update-repo rather than ostree summary. Among other
things, ostree summary won't generate the appstream commits and branches
that the flatpak client expects to find in the repo.
