Phaedrus Leeds ff8490a91e app: Add -u alias for --user
Save folks a few keystrokes. There is a command which already has a '-u'
option, document-export, but it doesn't support --user so there should
be no conflict. However '-s' is used by the info command among others,
so we can't use that for --system.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository configuration.
<arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> is the name for the new remote, and
<arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is a url or pathname.
The <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is either a flatpak repository,
or a <filename>.flatpakrepo</filename> file which
describes a repository. In the former case you may also have to specify
extra options, such as the gpg key for the repo.
</para>
<para>
Unless overridden with the <option>--user</option> or <option>--installation</option> options, this command
changes the default system-wide installation.

Assume the URI is a .flatpakrepo file rather than the repository itself. This is enabled
by default if the extension is .flatpakrepo, so generally you don't need this option.

<listitem><para>
Modify a system-wide installation specified by <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg>
among those defined in <filename>/etc/flatpak/installations.d/</filename>.
Using <option>--installation=default</option> is equivalent to using

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--prio=PRIO</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Set the priority for the remote. Default is 1, higher is more prioritized. This is
mainly used for graphical installation tools. It is also used when searching for a
remote to provide an app's runtime. The app's origin is checked before other
remotes with the same priority.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--subset=SUBSET</option></term>

Limit the refs available from the remote to those that are part of the named subset.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--no-enumerate</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Mark the remote as not enumerated. This means the remote will
not be used to list applications, for instance in graphical
installation tools.
</para></listitem>

</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--filter=PATH</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Add a local filter to the remote. A filter file is a list of lines, each
file starting with "allow" or "deny", and then a glob for the ref to
allow or disallow. The globs specify a partial ref (i.e. you can leave out
trailing parts which will then match everything), but otherwise only "*" is
special, matching anything in that part of the ref.
</para>
<para>
By default all refs are allowed, but if a ref
matches a deny rule it is disallowed unless it
specifically matches an allow rule. This means you
can use this to implement both allowlisting and blocklisting.
</para>
<para>
Here is an example filter file:
<programlisting>
# This is an allowlist style filter as it denies all first
deny *
allow runtime/org.freedesktop.*
allow org.some.app/arm
allow org.signal.Signal/*/stable
allow org.signal.Signal.*/*/stable
</programlisting>
</para>
</listitem>
