PackageKit qml implementation about software-app HOT 4 OPEN

This needs to be implemented in a way that:

1. Is cleanly separated from the xdg-app implementation.
2. Can be disabled/hidden with using an OSTree system, as installing packages to the root filesystem won't work.

My primary focus is going to be on the xdg-app backend, but I'll try to build it in a way that will make it easy to add a backend for PackageKit if I or someone else has time to work on that.

I didn't saw your commits with xdg-app and i still haven't looked into it but i think someone can write a package-kit backend for it. In the mean time we can use ostree just for updates. Do you think that is possible?

@ibeliever It would be interesting if this had a PackageKit backend so that it could operate in a traditional distro environment (e.g. Fedora workstation), while also being flexible enough to support OSTree (which Fedora Atomic is built as, as an alternative to the regular model).

Currently, no one has used rpm-ostree for composing a desktop, but it seems like an interesting challenge to do, and this software center supporting OSTree makes it an interesting possibility.
