[SailfishDevel] Flatpak for Sailfish

[rinigus]

Morning!

Re compositor issue: that has been worked around by having
compositor-in-compositor. In theory, but I didn't look too much more than a
day into it, we could have headless compositor rendered on gles widget
which could be rather current, with all protocols supported. I mainly
bailed out to keep this project feasible and getting somewhere in
reasonable amount of time.

Re keyboard: current solution is to incorporate keyboard into the app by
adding into main window. I am waiting for Sailfish keyboard gurus to
comment on it with the hope that we can use some kind of plugin in flatpaks
for communication with SFOS keyboards (dbus is available, for example).
