Bug description

Inform users about Flatpak branch changes. If a Flatpak package wants to change branches, the updates will not be applied and no information will be provided.

Steps to reproduce

I noticed a problem with the recent Flatpak change from Minetest to Luanti.
Flatpak (command line) showed:
Info: app net.minetest.Minetest branch stable is end-of-life, in favor of org.luanti.luanti branch stable

The Flatpak is supposed to change the branch, but MintUpdate behaved as follows:

  1. An update for 'Luanti' is shown.
  2. Start update.
  3. Short loading
  4. An update for 'Luanti' is shown (back at 1, but nothing has changed).

After some tries, I did a manual flatpak update realizing the problem.

Expected behavior

If MintUpdate cannot apply an update, such as in this case due to a branch change, provide the user with feedback.
A message such as 'Update could not be applied' or 'Manual update required' would suffice.
