This is a step towards making flatpak-utils conceptually "smaller" than all other translation units, with no dependencies beyond GLib and libglnx. In particular, consolidating all the OCI registry manipulation into one place means we can build other translation units without libarchive. This would also be a step towards being able to provide a build-time option to build a libostree-only version of Flatpak without the OCI feature or the direct libarchive dependency, if someone wanted to implement that.
