Alexander Larsson f33fac310c Add fallback-x11 socket permission
This means use x11 if no alternative is present, and should be used
for applications that support both X11 and wayland, but want to be
sandboxed when running under a wayland compositor (but still want to
run under an X server).

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Runs a build command in a directory. <arg choice="plain">DIRECTORY</arg>
must have been initialized with <command>flatpak build-init</command>.
</para>
<para>
The sdk that is specified in the <filename>metadata</filename> file
in the directory is mounted at <filename>/usr</filename> and the
<filename>files</filename> and <filename>var</filename> subdirectories
are mounted at <filename>/app</filename> and <filename>/var</filename>,
respectively. They are writable, and their contents are preserved between
build commands, to allow accumulating build artifacts there.
