Owen W. Taylor d7d05a8619 Use oci+http[s]:// as an URL to identify OCI registries
The old pattern of using a separate 'OCI' flag was very ugly
internally in the code once it was extended to flatpak bundles and
flatpakrefs - using a different URI scheme means that the nature
of the remote can't be accidentally lost in some part of the code.

Probing would be possible as well, but would make it difficult to
add a remote when offline, and also doesn't deal well with the
fact that our data layout is different for the two types of remotes -
the type of remote could change at any point!

As a side effect this change enables flatpakrefs and flatpak bundles for OCI
registries.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository
configuration. <arg>NAME</arg> is the name for the new
remote, and <arg>LOCATION</arg> is a url or pathname. The
<arg>LOCATION</arg> is either a flatpak repository, or a
.flatpakrepo file which describes a repository. In the
former case you may also have to specify extra options,
such as the gpg key for the repo.
</para>
<para>
Unless overridden with the --user or --installation options, this command
changes the default system-wide installation.
