removable-media: Handle x-content/ostree-repository for software

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gnome-control-center:ostree-repositories into master

It’s new and used in parallel with x-content/unix-software: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/merge_requests/22.

Technically it is a bit different — x-content/unix-software could describe a load of bare ELF files on a USB stick, whereas x-content/ostree-repository could describe a whole OS or a flatpak runtime on a USB stick.

The app used to ‘run’ both of them is the same by default — gnome-software. We might want to handle them differently in the longer run though.
