Bug Description
[Impact]
GNOME Software doesn't show any snaps in the "Editor's Picks" section. snapd added a new feature to return snaps in the "featured" section and should be shown in GNOME Software.
[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
Expected result:
Some of the "Editor's Picks" apps should be snaps.
Observed result:
There are no snaps shown.
[Regression Potential]
Some risk of new behaviour adversely affecting GNOME Software startup.

I added basic support for this into gnome-software but it makes the startup slow. This is because it downloads all the icons for each popular app before showing them. In the other plugins the icons are always local (downloaded with AppStream data). So I think this needs either an icon cache (only have the delay on first run) or gnome-software modified to load the icons in the background (my preferred option).
