[Bug 1324853] [NEW] interface to get manifest corresponding to file in installed package

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

For reporting crashes from click packages, we need an interface to get
the package manifest corresponding to a file name in a click package.
Currently this requires something like running "click pkgdir FILENAME"
and then appending .click/info/PACKAGE-NAME.manifest, which is pretty
awkward (not to mention requiring decomposing the directory name from
pkgdir to find the package name) and we should wrap this up.
