runtime: When in a Flatpak env try to get the right executables

Ludovico de Nittis requested to merge wip/runtime_search_program into master

When we are in a Flatpak environment we want to pick "localedef", "locale" and "ldconfig" from the Flatpak runtime instead of the ones provided by Scout/Soldier.

By searching in the PATH we can ensure to create a subsandbox where these executables are symlinked to the "/run/parent" counterpart.

Fixes: T27438
