appdata: add OARS metadata

Will Thompson requested to merge wjt/gnome-weather:oars into master

Generated with https://hughsie.github.io/oars/generate.html, following the “Application that can connect to the Internet” flow. Two categories seem potentially relevant, to me:

  1. Information Sharing. The “Mild” level is described as:

    Mild: Using any online API, e.g. a user-counter

    Weather does indeed use an online API.

  2. Location Sharing. The description says:

    This does not include heuristic based location services, e.g. GeoIP and others.

    Weather tells Geoclue to use Geoclue.AccuracyLevel.CITY. From the documentation at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/geoclue/docs/libgeoclue/libgeoclue-gclue-enums.html#GClueAccuracyLevel one would expect that this is using GeoIP or similar, not sharing exact location from any GPS.

OARS metadata will soon become mandatory for apps on Flathub.
