systemd-tmpfiles can be configured to periodically cleans /run/user, which can remove the session helper's p11-kit socket. Once removed, all subsequent Flatpak launches fail with "Can't find source path" until the session helper restarts. Take a shared flock on the .flatpak-helper directory for the lifetime of the process. systemd-tmpfiles --clean skips directories that are locked. Helps: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/6341
