[MonoDevelop] Flatpack information

[Eberhard Beilharz]

http://flatpak.org/developer.html#Working_with_the_Sandbox shows the 
available options. You can run MD with flatpak run --filesystem=host 
com.xamarin.MonoDevelop to see the host filesystem. This works if you 
have files in e.g. /opt. However, it won't help if you have libraries 
and files under /usr because the sandbox provides it's own version of 
/usr and doesn't merge it with the host filesystem.

I hope there will be a way soon to run/debug applications in MD 6 that 
need additional libraries that are not pre-packaged in the flatpak sandbox.
