UDENG-1364
Ref #1367

@tim-hm when running this in debug mode loading the appstream metadata slows down the app drastically to the point where the UI becomes unresponsive for a short time. This should be hardly noticeable in release mode, though. However, there's some delay before the appstream autocompletion results become available - we should cache the metadata pool in a format that can be loaded more quickly later on.

I had to refactor the search providers a bit:

src/search now only contains the common search logic (i.e. the search query and the autocompletion provider
src/appstream and src/snapd now have their own separate search providers - there's no common filtering and sorting logic yet.

lib/src/search/search_provider.dart

lib/src/search/search_field.dart

lib/src/store/store_app.dart

lib/main.dart

A few bits for your consideration! Go ahead and merge when you're happy.
