transaction: Sync installed apps' state missing runtime is re-installed

Flatpak changes [1] will start marking apps as updatable if their
runtime component is missing on the installation. These apps will
be shown as updatable in gnome-software updates panel but in the
background they are meant to fetch their missing runtime.

Since many apps can target one runtime, the absence of that runtime
can make many apps show up in the updates panel. In that case,
check if the runtime is downloaded → installed and set all
apps' state back to "installed". This solves the case
if users chooses to click "Update All".

appstream: Override <id> with <launchable type="desktop-id"> while parsing appdata files

Problem statement:
This has been a recurring problem since a long time now, where
apps have started to drop the ".desktop" suffix from their <id>
tag present in their appdata. Reasoning for this change is given
as the ".desktop" is not really a part of the app-id. Also,
it's been seen as better aligning with flatpak ref-ids as
dropping this suffix makes the app-id equivalent to the flatpak
ref-id.

However, this breaks the mapping between the app's appdata and
it's desktop file. GNOME Software parses both of these, to merge
the metadata (ideally) under one GsApp object during refines.
The appdata supplies information like description and categories
whereas desktop files supplies information like icon, NoDisplay
and so on.

So, things will break if metadata parsing of appdata and desktop
file doesn't converge under one GsApp object. What happens here
is gnome-software creates an app from a desktop file but could
not relate to it's appdata file (because ".desktop" mismatch) and
it ends up creating two GsApp objects, neither of which has full
metadata from appdata and desktop file. Hence, anyone of these can
bubble up in the UI with missing icons or info etc.

Solution:
Apps dropping .desktop suffix adds a <launchable type="desktop-id">
tag to the appdata. Check for the presence of this tag and override
the <id> tag, if it doesn't match the <launchable> tag. This makes
sure that the appdata can still relate to it's desktop file component.

external-appstream: Don't bother about permissions while copying

Don't bother with permissions while copying the external appstream
file from user's cache to APPSYSTEM_SYSTEM_DIR. This already has been
now taken care of by the change introduced in [1].

This reason this change is required, is because combination of [1]
and G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS ends up with permissions as:
-rw------- 1 root root
as G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT makes entire "unix::mode" attribute
to be skipped while copying.

Since, as per [1], G_FILE_CREATE_PRIVATE will setup appropriate
permissions on the destination file itself, avoid injecting
the G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT flag in g_file_copy() to complicate
the matter.

(Unfortunately, this requires a glib version bump for upstream)

flatpak: Introduce a utility to resolve default arch for refs

This is originated to address the case of external-appstream
that can be used to mention additional appdata for a given GsApp.
However, the `source` parameter for a flatpak GsApp is dependent
on the arch of the system. This patch allows the external appstream
to optionally omit the arch and gnome-software will assume the
default arch and re-create the source parameter with the correct ref.
The corrected ref is parsed through `flatpak_ref_parse` for sanity.

Example of an external appstream 'source' parameter resolution:
<bundle type="flatpak">app/org.telegram.desktop//stable</flatpak>
resolves to: `app/org.telegram.desktop/x86_64/stable` for a
x86_64 platform.

New "online-updates-timestamp" gsetting for online updates tracking

"online-updates-timestamp" will denote the last time the system was
online and got any update. It will play as one of the factor to drive
pending updates notification logic in gs-update-monitor (See
no_updates_for_a_week). This timestamp is set by plugin-loader
whenever there is a update or upgrade operation (that succeeds).

The reason we introduce a new gsetting instead of using a similar
one "install-timestamp is that, "install-timestamp" is used for
scheduling offline PackageKit update notifications. If we reuse this
one for flatpak updates as well, this can lead to PackageKit updates
never getting any notifications (as flatpak updates are autoinstalled).

Fix how pending apps are installed from the installed page

In the installed page, whenever the list of pending apps changes, the
page will try to install any app in it. This was fine when there were
no limited number of concurrent installations, but right now this may
be a problem (if an app that gets installed by the page goes in the
pending list, then this may trigger another install call from the page
and so on...).

Since the page only cares about installing the apps for when the list
of pending apps is loaded from disk (on start up), to prevent the issue
mentioned above these changes only install the pending apps on start up.
It also skips calling refine on all the pending apps after start up,
since apps are added to the pending apps list usually after being very
recently refined (i.e. we only need to refine them on start up, so this
patch may make things a bit faster in this regard).

Do not invalidate OS upgrades in the Updates page

The Updates page resets the OS upgrades state to be available again if
there's a change to the updates, or an app removal, etc.. The reason for
this is that package-based systems need to make sure they have all the
packages downloaded, so this would force the user to download any
missing packages.

As a result, if the user has a downloaded OS upgrade in an ostree system,
and restarts GNOME Software, or removes an app, in this state, the OS
upgrade will show the Download button again, even if offline.

Any OS upgrade invalidation should be done by the plugins related to it
and not by the Updates page, so this patch removes the mentioned code.

flatpak: Set the correct origin when installing a flatpakref

When installing a flatpakref, part of the process is to install its
ref file, and the code was assuming that this installation always
results in a new remote (named as app_name-origin). However, if there
is already a remote with the same URI as the one coming from the ref
file, it will not add the new one in order to avoid redudancy.

Since the GsApp representing the one in the flatpakref was being
assigned the "app_name-origin" as its origin, it would fail to install
later because this expected origin may not exist (as explained above).

To fix this, once the ref file is installed, we get the resulting
remote's name (i.e. a new one or the existing one) and override the
app's origin with it, which will allow the installation to succeed.
