Stop timers in various widgets on unmap

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gnome-software:2640-carousel-wakeups into main

See the commit messages for details. This essentially applies the same changes to the following widgets, which all have repeating background timers to update the UI in some form:

  • GsFeaturedCarousel
  • GsLoadingPage
  • GsUpdatesPage
  • GsUpgradeBanner

If we keep those timers running while unmapped, they’re updating a UI which isn’t visible, which is a pointless reason to wake up the gnome-software process.

Closes #2640 (closed)
