Snap search results not in the same order as command line

[Robert Ancell]

[Impact]
When searching in GNOME Software, the Snap results are not returned in the same order as the command line. This is due to classic snaps being considered a lower quality than strict snaps.

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Search for "sky"

Expected result:
Snaps matching "sky" are returned, with the same order as the command line (Skype is first)

Observed result:
While mostly in the same order, some snaps are not (Skype is the last snap in the list, in eighth position).

[Regression Potential]
The fix is to set the "match value" of each Snap GsApp to be the order the results are returned in. This field is checked before the "kudo" field which is populated based on the confinement used.

I redid the tests and I can confirm that everything is as expected. "Sky" generates the same results in the same order from cli and from G-S.
