application startup blocks on plugin timeout

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

On my test machine fwupd service timeouts (due to bug 1746485) This causes gnome-software to wait until the timeout during startup and has an impact of 20s on startup.

16:06:43:0338 Gs plugin no longer recently active: packagekit-history
16:07:03:0673 Gs not GsPlugin error from plugin fwupd g-io-error-quark:24: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached
16:07:03:0673 Gs failed to call gs_plugin_refresh on fwupd: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached
16:07:03:0674 As run 0x55835f044d90~GsPlugin::packagekit-refresh(gs_plugin_refresh)
16:07:03:0683 Gs emitting global waiting

If the service is removed it starts faster bug then an error message is displayed on the UI ('Something went wrong')
