Flatpak packaging

Manifest

Flatpak packaging manifest is generated by running

packaging/flatpak/generate-flatpak-script.sh

from the root of the project. This script requires libolm to be
installed on the development PC as it will create Python virtual
environment and install all the requirements in it.

Note that the requirements are taken from
packaging/flatpak/requirements.flatpak.txt and the ones specified in
the project' root requirements.txt. At the moment of writing,
included packages are multidict with the version that installs in
Flatpak (newer versions seem to have some issues), uvloop, and few
packages required for building other packages.

In addition, the list of ignored packages is in
packaging/flatpak/generate-flatpak-script.sh.

Flatpak manifest is created automatically by
generate-flatpak-script.sh using mirage.flatpak.base.yaml and
replacing the marked placeholder with Python module dependencies.
