Bug Description

Please expose the 'Last Updated' date to gnome-software for snaps. That date is shown on the online store https://snapcraft.io/store for snaps.

Rationale:
Some snaps have not been updated since several months (example https://snapcraft.io/jabref, last updated on Aug 18 2017), so that date gives an indication to users whether the snap is still maintained by its uploader or not.

GNOME Software doesn't have a field to show this, so this needs some thought as to how it fits into the upstream design.

The Flathub store for flatpak apps also have that date, so it would make sense to show the 'Last Upload Date' for both, snaps and flatpaks.
