Adds a script to validate an AppStream metainfo XML file. It uses a bunch of overrides sourced from Flathub. I decided to use these to try to maintain the best compatibility; the idea is if a metainfo file works for Flathub, it should work for us. Some exceptions are commented out as they rely on patches to appstream (I think?), and I haven't looked into locating those yet. We can decide to pursue that at a later time and uncomment them, or just drop them. Signed-off-by: Evan Maddock <[email protected]>

Test Plan
Run the script against some metainfo XML files in my system, and in the package repository files.
