Merge lp:~mvo/software-center/downloader-fix-race839462-again into lp:software-center

[Michael Vogt]

This branch fixes a race condition in the SimpleFileDownloader when the
file is downloaded but the signal did not get delivered yet by the gtk
event loop.

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

Tested the code on my box that originally displayed the issue and everything seems to be working fine.

review: Approve (tested the code)
