flatpak: add from_url parameter, deprecate URLs in name (#11748)
* flatpak: add from_url parameter, deprecate URLs in name
Adds a new `from_url` parameter for installing flatpaks from a
.flatpakref URL, using `flatpak install --from <url>`. The `name`
parameter then carries the reverse DNS application ID, enabling
reliable idempotency checks.
Passing URLs directly in `name` is now deprecated and will be
removed in community.general 14.0.0.
Fixes#4000
* flatpak: add changelog fragment for PR #11748
* flatpak: remove deprecation, adjust docs tone
* flatpak: add integration tests for from_url parameter

Fixes#6563 by extending the allowed values of the `state` parameter to
include `latest`. To do this, the `update_flat()` function is introduced
which borrows the majority of its implementation from both the existing
`install_flat()` and `remove_flat()` functions. The documentation and
examples have been expanded describing what to expect when using
`state=latest`.
