Flatpak option

Since I've updated to a more recent version of Electron, I tried to get this flatpak package working but it seems it will need more work than the other ones: it's not as straightforward as just adding flatpak to the list.

Looking to the logs and internet, it seems some dependencies are missing (or not working properly), I tried to fixed it with an additional step in the build:

- name: Install flatpat deps
  if: matrix.os == 'ubuntu-latest'
  run: |
       sudo apt update
       sudo apt install -y flatpak flatpak-builder elfutils
       sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
       sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/19.08 org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/x86_64/stable -y
  shell: bash        

But with no luck so far.

Since linux already have 3 official builds and 2 of them are compatible with any distribution, I will not invest more of my time on this one.

Feel free to fork the repo and try on your side if you're more knowledgeable or lucky than me, if someone is able to make this thing work I will be more than happy to merge it. 🙂
