Bug Description

We're looking at migrating from Ubuntu Software Centre to GNOME Software. This will break the reviews support in the Unity dash. We need another solution.

We might need to drop the support for reviews in unity-lens-applications. An alternative would be to write a plugin (or to patch gnome-software) to allow g-s to show and export ubuntu-software-center reviews.

We can use PackageKit DBus APIs here without problem. We might need to patch gnome-software to make it call unity launched dbus method AddLauncherItemFromPosition to fully support the install animation.
