Add flatpak build manifest

[RomanKharin]

SImple manifest for Flatpak.
Notes:

• Tested on org.Kde.Platform 5.14
• Uses --device=all, due lack of serial/device portal in flatpak
• No desktop files

Prepare

• install flatpak-builder
• download sdk (flatpak install org.Kde.Platform//5.14 org.Kde.Sdk//5.14)

Build

flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

Test

flatpak-builder --run build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml Candle

Great tip ;-)

On Ubuntu Linux 20.04.5 LTS you need additional steps:

sudo apt install flatpak-builder # + 5MB
flatpak install flathub org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.14 # + 1 GB
flatpak install flathub org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.14 # + 1GB
mkdir build-dir
flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

but I can see warnings/errors here like this:

$ flatpak-builder build-dir src/com.github.Denvi.Candle.yaml

After rm build-dir/ -rf I can't see success.

@RomanKharin Maybe you have a solution for this?
