Hi!
These are the proposed spec changes and an initial implementation (missing tests and specific validator checks at the moment) of user input controls.
These can be used to indicate which methods of control by a user an application supports. This permits filtering applications that are mobile-ready to a limiting degree by checking whether they support touch input. Also, games could mark that they do support game controllers, as initially requested in #55. Applications that do have a CLI or support voice/vision as methods of user control can also be pointed out to the user.
This PR implements the addition proposed as https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/appstream/2020-February/000339.html which also contains additional information about its rationale.
Feedback is welcome!
