Provide a flatpak manifest

[danirabbit]

See https://github.com/elementary/calculator/blob/master/io.elementary.calculator.yml as an example

@danrabbit I'm happy to create the manifest file - but how do I test if it works correctly? Never packed for Flatpak, but I'm eager to learn :)

[Marukesu]

So, i made that manifest yesterday, but i can't fully test it because of incompatibles with the DBus interfaces of EDS from hera and flatpak.
