AppStream metainfo should ideally be added upstream, rather than in one
specific downstream; or if it can't be upstreamed, it seems like the unique
identifier should at least be consistent between downstreams if possible.

The Flatpak app is org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu (although that's somewhat
wrong, because upstream doesn't own dolphinemu.org - it should ideally be
something like org.dolphin_emu.dolphin-emu, by the "replace dashes with
underscores where syntactically necessary" rule in
<https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-id-generic>).

org.dolphin_emu.dolphin-emu would be more conventional than org.dolphin-emu,
despite the redundancy.
