Bug Description
[Impact]
On a default Bionic Desktop installation, gnome-software starts early and slows down session startup. In the bootchart attached, it overlaps with gnome-shell startup which is also resource intensive.
With gnome-software delayed gnome-shell starts 2 seconds faster.
gnome-software service startup should be delayed if it cannot be stop completely.
[Test Case]
1. Login to the default session
2. After 60 seconds confirm their is a gnome-software process running
Expected result:
The gnome-software process should be running in the background allowing to search for apps in the gnome-shell search
Observed result:
Works as expected (i.e. only looking for regressions).
[Regression Potential]
Very low, the change is very simple and well known method to delay autostart. If it doesn't actually start, it will be dbus activated on the first attempt to search which would just cause a slight delay in getting results
