Bug Description

Impact
======
I believe all other GNOME distros include or will include Flatpak 0.8 in the default install.

Once Flatpak 0.8 is available, it would be nice if Ubuntu GNOME users could benefit it from it without having to install extra packages.

https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2016/12/22/a-stable-base-for-flatpak-0-8/

Test Case
=========
Install the updated ubuntu-gnome-desktop
Check if 'flatpak' is installed.

Regression Potential
====================
None. This just adds flatpak to the default install and there are no known bugs caused by that.

Other Info
==========
These are command-line tools. There is GUI support in gnome-software-plugin-flatpak 3.22 which is only available in Ubuntu 17.04 since GNOME Software 3.22 has various dependencies that are only available starting in that release (GTK 3.22 and PackageKit 1.1.4), but see also bug 1650783.

Ubuntu GNOME still installs Ubuntu Snap support (snapd).
