Bug description:
[Impact]
GNOME Software has a cache that can be accessed by multiple threads. This can
cause GNOME Software to crash. This seems to have been caused by adding support
for featured snaps (bug 1663097) as the popular, featured and installed snaps
are all requested on different threads.
[Test Case]
Since this is a random crash there's not a good test case. Could be checked
by looking at errors.ubuntu.com crash reports or repeated restarts of GNOME
Software to see if it crashes on startup.
[Regression Potential]
Solution is to add a lock around this cache. Some risk of breaking related
code.
