[Devel] Application Layout design proposal

[Simon McVittie]

Here is a design proposal for altering the installed layout of
application bundles to be suitable for upgrade/rollback, data-reset,
containerization, and the theme installation use-cases raised by Ramya
and Suma on <https://bugs.apertis.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575>:

  <https://wiki.apertis.org/Application_Layout>

Please let me know if there are any requirements that are not covered,
or areas that are unclear or unsuitable.

There are some unresolved questions about the requirements, for which I
would particularly appreciate feedback:


<https://wiki.apertis.org/Application_Layout#Unresolved_design_questions>

The part discussing icon themes should eventually be split out into a
separate design document that specifically covers what has been said on
<https://bugs.apertis.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575>, but for the moment it's
just a subsection of Application_Layout.

Thanks,
 S
