Merge lp:~mvo/software-center/apptreeview-tweaks into lp:software-center

[Michael Vogt]

This branch gets rid of the
"""
 AttributeError: 'TreeModelFilter' object has no attribute 'load_range' bug
"""
errors when navigating to the installed pane. But in order to fix that I had to look around for quite a bit
and did some refactor/cleanup along the way and added profile data and some more fixes:
- move the logic for appname into the db as far as possible
- merge _AppPropertiesHelper and AppPropertiesHelper
- fix a missing self.hide_appview_spinner() that prevented the installed pane to show up quicker
- add some profile data
- make the testcode in appview.py show a List and the testcode in apptreeview.py show a test treeview
- merge test_app_view.py and test_appview.py

[lp:~mvo/software-center/apptreeview-tweaks]
