Bug Description

Webcatalog currently relies on http://screenshots.ubuntu.com to serve screenshots for the apps in the catalog.
For-purchase apps have screenshots served from software-center.ubuntu.com instead, as screenshots.u.c doesn't support adding screenshots for apps not in the repo. The url for each screenshot is served together with the metadata for these applications, so it would be a matter of storing the screenshot url together with the app.
This would allow us to eventually customize the screenshot url for all apps, if needed, for free.

Looking at the code the screenshot url was already being stored, so it was just a matter of displaying the non-standard screenshot if one was provided. Fix proposed in the related branch.
