In bug 1648029, full Pipewire access was added to the flatpak permissions to enable Pipewire based screen sharing. It turned out that this was a bug in WebRTC, which did not use the file descriptor / socket from the xdg-portal, which would grant only permission to the requested stream. This was fixed in bug 1726211 (an upstream MR will follow soon). So now we should be able to drop full Pipewire access again.

Drop full Pipewire access again.

This effectively reverts D110021
