software-center-agent should now be able to disable the icon_data in our
available-apps-for-purchase api, as USC is checking the icon_url field
and fetching icons from there.
I think the best approach is to add a feature flag to disable icon_data
in both the 1.0 and 2.0 api, and the apps view. This way we can
reenable it quickly if anything goes wrong.

Title:
AvailableApps API should not server icon_data inline
Status in Online service used by software center:
Confirmed
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The initial implementation of the software center agent required a
single 64x64 icon to be base64 encoded into the available_apps api
request for each application.
We were very aware this would not scale and would need to change, but
from memory the changes required in the client were not possible at
the time (?).
