flatpak 1.16.1

Enhancements:

* When using parental controls, allow a child account to update existing
  apps by default, to ensure that security and bugfix updates can be
  installed. This can be overridden by setting polkit policy rules for
  the new `org.freedesktop.Flatpak.override-parental-controls-update`
  action if necessary. (#5552)

* Make systemd scopes easier to match to Flatpak app instances,
  by using the instance ID instead of the top-level process ID in the
  scope name (#6015)

* Access to `--device=dri` now includes `/dev/udmabuf` (#6158)

* Improve the error message for an invalid parameter to
  flatpak-spawn --sandbox-a11y-own-name (#6048)

* Speed up `flatpak prune --dry-run` by not calculating potential freed
  space and avoiding operations that would need to hold a lock
  (#5813, #6121)

* Speed up `flatpak permission-reset` by only writing entries that have
  actually changed (#5772)

* Documentation improvements (#4859, #6066, #6134)

* Look for TLS certificates at /etc/containers/certs.d when interacting with
  OCI registries (#5916)

* Translation updates: bg (#6120), ka (#6176), pl (#6106),
  pt_BR (#6076, #6188), ro (#6139), ru (#6145), sl (#6054), sv (#6193),
  tr (#6109)

Bug fixes:

* Fix intermittent flatpak-portal crashes by avoiding unnecessary
  multi-threading (#5605)

* Don't show a confusing confirmation prompt when `flatpak remove --unused`
  removes `autoprune-unless` extensions that are no longer needed, such as
  older Nvidia drivers (#5712, #2718)

* Don't propagate `$PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX` from host into sandbox (#6110)

* Don't propagate `$WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, `$WAYLAND_SOCKET` from host into
  sandbox if access to the Wayland socket has been denied (#3948)

* When discovering the AT-SPI bus, treat `$AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS` as
  higher-priority than GetAddress(), more closely matching the behaviour
  of AT-SPI itself (#6173)

* Fix a memory leak when installing extra-data (#6069)

* Don't show fatal transaction errors twice (#3400)

* Fix the build with -Ddefault_library=static (#6119)

* Fix incorrect error reporting (#6127, #5170)

* When using `FLATPAK_TTY_PROGRESS`, terminate OSC escape sequence with
  standard ST sequence instead of xterm-specific BEL (#6092)

* Include all options in shell completion for `flatpak search` (#6096)

Internal changes:

* Fix an unclear boolean expression (no functional change) (#5013)

* Avoid a duplicate redirection in the test suite (#6117)

* CI updates
