n-m-openconnect doesn't install its Appstream metadata

[Jeremy Bícha]

Impact
------
network-manager-openconnect has Appstream metadata but doesn't install it. This makes it less user friendly to install it.

Test Case
---------
0. You actually do need to enable the -proposed repo and then run 'sudo apt update' to make sure you get the metadata update needed to verify this update.
1. Please wait up to a day after the update is built and published for the metadata to be published to the Ubuntu Software app.
2. Make sure that Ubuntu Software is not running. You can do this by logging out and logging back in or by running a command like
pkill gnome-software
3. Open Ubuntu Software.
4. Search for GNOME Control Center. Click the GNOME Control Center result.
5. OpenConnect VPN Client should be listed as one of the Add-ons. Optionally, click the checkbox to install it.

Regression Potential
--------------------
This is a very simple fix to install a file that should have already been installed.

Other Info
----------
This same fix could be applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but I don't see any addons listed in Ubuntu Software there. Maybe Ubuntu Software didn't include that feature in the old version available in 16.04.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted network-manager-openconnect into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openconnect/1.2.4-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

verification will take a bit longer since the generator for appstream.ubuntu.com will need to be restarted or something so we're waiting for the administrator to do that.

I completed the test case today with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I installed OpenConnect VPN Client using Ubuntu Software and verified on the command line that apt had installed network-manager-openconnect 1.2.4-1ubuntu1.
