Bug Description

To verify the bug:
1) killall gnome-software
2) lsof -p $(pidof gnome-software) | wc -l
3) Use gnome-software for a while (search for snaps, etc.)
4) Again: lsof -p $(pidof gnome-software) | wc -l

As you can seen the list of open files grows overtime.

This (https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rF5tHn5BwG/) also shows the problem, just compile it, get the pid and check with lsof the number of open files.

Robert will make a new release of snapd-glib, but isn't 100% certain it will fix all of these.

snapd-glib 1.39-0ubuntu1 has the change. I did manage to make a test program that left a lot of file descriptors, but still haven't managed to get GNOME Software to do the same thing by using it. Hopefully it will fix it!
