flatpak 1.10.8

Security fixes:

 * Escape special characters when displaying permissions and metadata,
   preventing malicious apps from manipulating the appearance of the
   permissions list using crafted metadata (CVE-2023-28101).

 * If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console (tty1, tty2, etc.),
   don't allow copy/paste via the TIOCLINUX ioctl (CVE-2023-28100).
   Note that this is specific to virtual consoles: Flatpak is not
   vulnerable to this if run from a graphical terminal emulator such as
   xterm, gnome-terminal or Konsole.

Other bug fixes:

 * If an app update is blocked by parental controls policies, clean up the
   temporary deploy directory (#5146)
 * Fix Autotools build with versions of gpgme that no longer provide
   gpgme-config(1) (#5173)
 * Fix regressions in `flatpak history` since 1.9.1
   - Don't display the appstream branch used internally
   - Don't display temporary repositories used internally
   - Ignore transaction log entries with empty REF field
   - Warn instead of failing if other non-app, non-runtime refs are found
   - Don't set up an unnecessary polkit agent for `flatpak history`
   - Add test coverage
 * Fix a typo in an error message
 * Fix incorrect year in NEWS for 1.10.7 release
 * Translation update: pl
 * Add test coverage for Flatpak's seccomp filters
