Summary

Add Systemd services and timers for automatic Flatpak updates. The update intervals have been chosen to match the Snaps (4 times a day). The reason for inclusion is that Flatpak includes no automated update mechanism and users are not notified of updates via the software center. Additionally, this ensures that users switching from Snap to Flatpak do not have to lose automated updates. Note that Flatpaks can safely be updated while running.

Test Plan

systemctl enable --user flatpak-update.timer
sudo systemctl enable flatpak-update.timer

See that Flatpaks are automatically updated.

Checklist

  • Package was built and tested against unstable
