Bug Description

When a snap does not have an icon, gnome-software uses the Snapcraft logo as a substitute.

This is not a good idea, because:
- It gives the Snapcraft logo an association of “something is missing”.
- It gives the Snapcraft logo an association with a snap that might be terrible.

What should happen: Snaps without icons should have a generic icon that does not include the Snapcraft logo.

(The snapcraft.io equivalent is <https://github.com/canonical-websites/snapcraft.io/issues/710>.)
