Show feedback for all conditions that pause automatic updates

Joshua Lee requested to merge lsw/gnome-software:updates-paused-dialog into main

Currently, gnome-software informs the user when automatic updates are paused due to detecting a metered connection. However, this isn't the only state that suspends automatic updates.

When in Power Saver mode or when GameMode is active, gnome-software won't automatically update without informing the user as to why. Fix this.

This is motivated by my confusion over never getting updates on one of my machines. It was only after deducing it was because I kept it in Power Saver mode did I realise gnome-software wasn't stuck, it was a feature 😄.

The strings likely need to be improved. I'm not entirely happy with with how the dialog gets less specific when more than one condition is active either, suggestions welcome.

This also assumes Power Saver mode and GameMode are mutually exclusive, but I haven't tested that yet.
