Bug Description

[Impact]
GNOME Software shows all reviews from ODRS, which includes reviews from other distributions. This can be misleading to Ubuntu users, as they may indicate issues or limitations that don't apply in Ubuntu. Solution is to filter reviews to show those reported on Ubuntu only.

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Select an app with reviews

Expected result:
The reviews should relate to Ubuntu

Observed result:
Some apps have reviews saying "Failed to start on <distro X>", which doesn't occur on Ubuntu.

[Regression Potential]
A filter was added to check the "distro" field on the review matches the distro GNOME Software is running on. This has a small risk of introducing a new bug.

The Discord snap is a good example. This review should not appear:
