flatpak 1.15.7

Dependencies:

 * The Meson build system is now required.
   Compiling with Autotools is no longer possible.

 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate bubblewrap (bwrap)
   executable, version 0.9.0 is recommended. Several of the bug fixes listed
   below will not be active if an older version is used.

 * In distributions that compile Flatpak to use a separate xdg-dbus-proxy
   executable, version 0.1.5 is recommended.

 * If libmalcontent (parental controls) is enabled, it must be version 0.5.0
   or later.

New features:

 * Automatically remove obsolete driver versions and other autopruned refs
   (#5632)

 * `--socket=inherit-wayland-socket` (#5614)

 * Automatically reload D-Bus session bus configuration after installing
   or upgrading apps, to pick up any exported D-Bus services (#3342)

Bug fixes:

 * Update included copy of bubblewrap to version 0.9.0:

     * `--symlink` is now idempotent, meaning it succeeds if the
       symlink already exists and already has the desired target
       (#2387, #3477, #5255)
     * Report a better error message if `mount(2)` fails with `ENOSPC`
     * Fix a double-close on error reading from `--args`, `--seccomp` or
       `--add-seccomp-fd` argument
     * Improve memory allocation behaviour
     * Silence various compiler warnings

     * Fix handling of long object paths

 * Don't use `WAYLAND_SOCKET` unless given `--socket=inherit-wayland-socket`
   (#5614)
