Implement filesystems entry (de-)serializer

ivan tkachenko requested to merge work/ratijas/new-filesystems into master

It tries to stay consistent with flatpak-override command. For example, it is capable of deduplicating various "home", "~" entries based on their type rather than actual prefix string literal; and also serializes them back in a "better compatibility with older Flatpak versions" mode. Such data structure makes it trivial to check whether a particular path is already in the list of permissions, as it stores actual path as a separate string.

List of special directories supported by flatpak is stored as an array with necessary metadata for each type. This makes it trivial to extend it, should Flatpak ever add more special filesystems.

Note: Draft status because it needs some tests, and actually integrating it into model.
