[Request]: Add a button to enable mangoapp when using Gamescope

Tell us the problem or your need

Often times, the executable doesn't start when MangoHUD is used with gamescope. There's also the fact that mangoapp has a lot more information when used with gamescope.

Describe the solution you'd like

@mirkobrombin Any update on this? Also, NVIDIA's new stable and Gamescope-compatible drivers just got released Having mangoapp there would be nice since it has got stuff like showing FSR level

Not yet, I’ve to investigate how to implement it

I think mangoapp isn't available in Flatpak yet, at least I couldn't find it. Open an issue on MangoHud on Flathub to provide it, I think that'll be required before Bottles can expose it.

I'll try to fix MangoHud on gamescope, so we have at least that before mangoapp.

@jntesteves Thanks for taking the time I opened an issue yesterday https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud/issues/12

https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud/pull/14#event-7575424480 was just merged, which gives us the opportunity to use mangoapp. I just merged https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/pull/2108 as well. I tested locally and mangoapp works with Gamescope. I'm still learning mangoapp since the documentation is quite lacking, so it may not be perfect.
