Validate extension directory, subdir_suffix, add_ld_path, and merge_dirs at parse time, rejecting absolute paths and paths with .. components that escape the intended mount point. This prevents extension metadata from mounting content at unintended locations inside the sandbox. Helps: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/security/advisories/GHSA-w69g-9x8j-7p8f
