Currently, when using the sideloading support for offline updates, there are two types of directories that are interesting: an ostree repo directory on a directory that was passed to `flatpak create-usb`. By default the latter has a repo at the subpath ".ostree/repo", and if a custom destination was specified with "--destination-repo", a symlink is created pointing to it in ".ostree/repos.d". Currently Flatpak supports either repos or create-usb dirs in the `sideload-repos` directory in either the Flatpak installation or `/run/flatpak` (see flatpak(1)), but only supports repo directories being passed to "--sideload-repo" for the install and update commands. This is pretty confusing and actually made me think the sideload support was broken because I forgot about this limitation. So change things so we can accept either type of directory specified either way: via option or via the "sideload-repos" directories. I've tested all of the following cases: - pointing to a repo with --sideload-repo - pointing to a create-usb dir with --sideload-repo - linking to a repo in ~/.local/share/flatpak/sideload-repos - linking to a create-usb dir in ~/.local/share/flatpak/sideload-repos - pulling from a sideload repo when online as a performance improvement
