Merge lp:~mvo/software-center/update-sc-cmdline-flexibility into lp:software-center

[Michael Vogt]

This branch adds some flexiblity to the update-software-center and update-software-center-agent commandline tools:

update-software-center-agent has a new --target-db-path to allow writing the xapian db that is generated from the software-center-agent.ubuntu.com data to a non-default location

update-software-center has --target-db-path as above and also --app-install-desktop-dir that can point to a directory like /usr/share/app-install/desktop or a custom test directory.
