Standardize AppStream ID on "org.pitivi.Pitivi"

Description
Pitivi provides Flatpak metadata, which is great!
However, the AppStream ID in Pitivi's AppStream file (pitivi.desktop
) doesn't match the one chosen in the Flatpak file (org.pitivi.Pitivi
). When AppStream IDs don't match, software center apps like GNOME Software and KDE Discover consider each one to be a separate app. So for users of these programs who have Pitivi available from Flathub as well as their distro's packages, Pitivi shows up twice, which is confusing:
If you change the AppStream file to use org.pitivi.Pitivi
as the AppStream ID for distro packaging, then the software could de-duplicate them and show the user a nice "which source do you want to install from?" UI.
Here's a patch that does that:
