Matthew Leeds a994cdb30e tree-wide: Replace usages of whitelist/blacklist
The terms whitelist and blacklist are hurtful to some people, and per
our code of conduct Flatpak is an inclusive community. Replace them with
allowlist and blocklist which are also more clear. This terminology
change is being implemented more broadly in the software industry; see
e.g. https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/236857/

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository configuration.
<arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> is the name for the new remote, and
<arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is a url or pathname.
The <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is either a flatpak repository,
or a <filename>.flatpakrepo</filename> 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 <option>--user</option> or <option>--installation</option> options, this command
changes the default system-wide installation.

Assume the URI is a .flatpakrepo file rather than the repository itself. This is enabled
by default if the extension is .flatpakrepo, so generally you don't need this option.

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--filter=PATH</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Add a local filter to the remote. A filter file is a list of lines, each
file starting with "allow" or "deny", and then a glob for the ref to
allow or disallow. The globs specify a partial ref (i.e. you can leave out
trailing parts which will then match everything), but otherwise only "*" is
special, matching anything in that part of the ref.
</para>
<para>
By default all refs are allowed, but if a ref
matches a deny rule it is disallowed unless it
specifically matches an allow rule. This means you
can use this to implement both allowlisting and blocklisting.
</para>
<para>
Here is an example filter file:
<programlisting>
# This is an allowlist style filter as it denies all first
deny *
allow runtime/org.freedesktop.*
allow org.some.app/arm
allow org.signal.Signal/*/stable
allow org.signal.Signal.*/*/stable
</programlisting>
