Update the appstream and desktop file
Update the localisation files for the renaming
Update whichever other script reference it

Rationale

app-id are in the form of "reverse domain" + "application name". This application name is Ansel. But the chosen app-id say the application name is "app". For flatpak, and Flathub, "app" isn't acceptable. So it would be rejected in the Flathub app submission.

This PR change the app-id to photos.ansel.ansel all lowercase. This id is case sensitive, so if you prefer photos.ansel.Ansel I'd be happy to update this PR to match that.

Since there have never been a release of this yet it's a good time to address this, instead of later.

From what I've read and unless I'm wrong, flatpak doesn't allow capital letters, does they?
So photos.ansel.ansel it's ok for me.

Not sure where you read that, but as a flathub admin / reviewer, I can tell you this is totally false.

I did lowercase because:

  • what Ansel is a fork of...
  • it's apparently recommended elsewhere (I think the appstream say it's preferred)

This can definitely be what you prefer.

What do you mean ? The capital letter phobia ? We don't have that in Ansel :D
