Behavior while checking/updating snaps

[William Dietrich]

In the Software Updater application, while checking/updating
snaps:

- the Details button does not work

- there is no percent-progress indicator shown

Please fix/improve these.

Perhaps the "Updating snaps..." status is misleading. What update-manager is really doing here is checking for updates, not the actual updates themselves. If updates are found, the status will change to "Removing snap x" or "Installing snap y" etc., and the progress bar will begin displaying the percentage completed as each are processed.

I've been using various Snaps for about 5 months now, and I've never seen any of those UI things appear.
