Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Platform runtimes are often installed with multiple versions, each support different Flatpak applications. When they are subjected to update, the GUI interface looks as if the same package is being updated twice. image

Describe the solution you'd like Show extra version details so that they are more clear, not just a gibberish hash value

Describe alternatives you've considered If one run flatpak list in terminal, one can see meaningful version numbers that distinguish their differences. Below is an extract of what shown in my computer (with what I actually installed left out)

Today is another confusing example. The version number is decreasing?! image
