screensaver-proxy: Better metadata for SDL games

SDL applications (usually games) don't have any API to provide an
application ID and a reason for inhibition, so if those are Flatpak'ed
get the application ID from the Flatpak, and use the gathered name as
the reason for inhibition.

I haven't tested this yet, so beware.

Review of attachment 371664 [details] [review]:

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of this special case just for the sake of SDL. And this case is so specific, that it will break already if SDL e.g. marks the string as translatable.

If we do this hack, would it be possible to document it in the SDL code to ensure we are notified about changes there?
