doc: Add a manpage for the repo config format

We support dropping files in this format into /etc/flatpak/remotes.d/,
so we should document the file format.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Flatpak stores information about configured remotes for an installation location in
<filename>$installation/repo/config</filename>. For example, the remotes for the
default system-wide installation are in
<filename>$prefix/var/lib/flatpak/repo/config</filename>, and the remotes for the
per-user installation are in <filename>$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/repo/config</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Normally, it is not necessary to edit remote config files directly, the
flatpak remote-modify command should be used to change properties of remotes.
</para>
<para>
System-wide remotes can be statically preconfigured by dropping
config fragments into <filename>/etc/flatpak/remotes.d/</filename>.
</para>

<title>File format</title>
<para>
The remote config file format is using the same .ini file format that is used for systemd
unit files or application .desktop files.
