This commit defines a metadata key that tells clients to update their remote config to add a collection ID. This functionality is currently implemented in Flatpak for the key "xa.collection-id", but there are two good reasons for moving the key to OSTree: 1) Servers such as Flathub shouldn't set xa.collection-id in their metadata now or in the medium term future, because many users are still using old versions of Flatpak and OSTree[1] which would hit various bugs[2][3][4] on the P2P code paths that are enabled by collection IDs. Defining a new key means that only clients running recent (as-yet-unreleased) versions of Flatpak and OSTree will pay attention to it and deploy the collection ID, leaving the users on old versions unaffected. 2) OSTree is as "invested" in collection IDs as Flatpak, so there's no reason the key should be defined in Flatpak rather than here. According to Philip Withnall, the reason the key was put in Flatpak originally was that at the time there was uncertainty about tying OSTree to collection IDs.
