In the single-user system scenario it doesn't matter that flatpaks are
installed to $HOME by default, and it's probably preferred given the
default Workstation partition layout; but I think it's confusing in
the multi-user case, as a default, because those installed apps won't
show up for any other user. Not only is there no way to set a default
location, in the GUI I can't specify the system location on a case by
case basis.

I've become convinced that the GUI should expose system vs. user installation for users to choose between.

I was thinking *user* would be a better default, but seems not everyone agrees. :)
I think this could be based on the permissions the user has, admins should have option to switch between --user and --system, but users without admin permissions shouldn't have option to install apps for everyone.
