gs-app-query: Add an alternate-of property and use it to replace gs_plugin_add_alternates()/GS_PLUGIN_ACTION_GET_ALTERNATES

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gnome-software:refactor-threads25 into main

See the commit messages for details. This replaces gs_plugin_add_alternates()/GS_PLUGIN_ACTION_GET_ALTERNATES with a new GsAppQuery:alternate-of property and use of GsPluginJobListApps.

Most of the changes here are very straightforward and very similar to the previous additions to GsAppQuery. The one slightly complex one is the implementation of GsAppQuery:alternate-of in the snap plugin, where I had to make a few utility functions async. Since I don’t have a working snap setup, I haven’t tested those changes at runtime, but they do compile. It’s the responsibility of Ubuntu to make sure the plugin still works.
