gs-download-utils: Split out SoupSession construction

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gnome-software:refactor-threads13 into main

Centralising it in GsPlugin and GsPluginLoader is not great, since it means connection and authentication information get shared between different plugin contexts (which don’t need to share them), and thread contention on the session is increased.

We probably want to aim for a model where, roughly, there is one SoupSession per plugin which needs one.

Factor out a common construction method for SoupSession which sets the gnome-software user agent and default properties. Plugins can then call this.
