flatpak list already supports filtering by application vs runtime, but search always mixed both. Add matching flags so users can e.g. search for games without runtime noise, or list GNOME runtimes. Closes: #6718

Host Requirements
Flatpak aims to run on a wide variety of systems. It is therefore conservative with required dependency versions and kernel features.
Currently, the main branch requires at least kernel version 5.8 (for
statx STATX_MNT_ID).
