Add some preliminary *.appdata.xml files for software centers

This should resolve #406; the description text probably needs
revisement, and we still need to compose images for the screenshots
section.

+    <p>
+      @PACKAGE_SHORTNAME@ Strife is a conservative,
+      historically-accurate recreation of the Strife engine.  It is
+      completely compatible with the original game and mods created
+      with the original engine in mind.  Made with a great reverse
+      engineering effort, it has the goal of preserving the original
+      look, feel, limitations, and bugs of the original DOS
+      executable.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Full support for single- and multi-player games is provided.
+      Unlike the original executable, network play is implemented on
+      the IP network stack, allowing it to function on modern LANs and
+      the Internet.
