Title:
  SRU more minor fixes to GNOME Software

Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Improve the usability of GNOME Software by fixing the following bugs:

  * Snaps not displaying human-readable names (LP: #1555569)
  * Some KDE4 applications cannot be launched (e.g. kolourpaint) (LP: #1575529)
  * Added error checking for the case where the ratings and reviews server isn't accessible
  * Fix a couple of CSS errors
  * Fix calculation of review ratings (LP: #1581938)
  * Make the app folder dialog work again (LP: #1590115)
  * Remove broken symlink of xdg-app-reviews plugin (LP: #1573052)
  * Promote curated snaps on overview shell
  * Disable redundant notification (LP: #1592382)
  * Disable app folders feature when run outside GNOME (LP: #1590152)

  [Test Cases]

  * Search for "ubuntu-calculator" from the overview shell. The name should be "Ubuntu Calculator application for the Unity 7 desktop", not "ubuntu-calculator-app"
  * Install, then attempt to launch kolourpaint from the details shell
  * Disconnect from the network, then attempt to submit a review
  * Run gnome-software from the command line, verify there's no warning "failed to open plugin /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so"

  [Regression Potential]

  Regression potential should be low as the fixes for these bugs are
  fairly isolated. Some of these changes are simple removal of features
  that aren't supported under Unity.
