extensionDownloader: Fix check for updates with several extensions

Jeremias Ortega requested to merge jere-ortega24/gnome-shell:fix-check-for-updates into master

When having several extensions installed checking for updates fails. This is because we are using GET and query params and since we are sending all the metadata of the extension the server returns 502 when the URL is too long. This error code is ignored safely.

Fix this by sending a request for each extension, making it harder for the URL to get excessively long.

Fixes #2962 (closed)

As a side note, this could produce more load in the server since we are making more small request compared to one bigger request.
