** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- The "Editor's Picks" section currently contains a mix of hard-coded values, 
values based on Ubuntu reviews and snaps from the "featured" snap store 
section. As snaps are the newest and preferred method of installing things in 
Ubuntu it should show only these, falling back to the default behaviour if no 
snaps are found.
+ The "Editor's Picks" section currently contains a mix of hard-coded values, 
values based on Ubuntu reviews and snaps from the "featured" snap store 
section. As snaps are the newest and preferred method of installing things in 
Ubuntu it should show only these in the order provided by snapd, falling back 
to the default behaviour if no snaps are found.
  
  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software
  2. Look at "Editor's Picks" section
  
  Expected result:
- This section contains seven of the snaps from the "featured" snap store 
section.
+ This section contains the snaps from the "featured" snap store section in the 
correct order.
  
  Observed result:
- This section contains a mix of .deb and snaps. Some snaps may not be shown 
due to not being able to fit them all in.
+ This section contains a mix of .deb and snaps. Some snaps may not be shown 
due to not being able to fit them all in. The order is random (changes daily).
  
  [Regression Potential]
- Solution is to ensure the popular snaps are populated first. This stops the 
hardcoded values from being added.
+ Solution is to add featured snaps last after clearing the existing featured 
apps. GNOME Software was modified to not randomize this list. Some risk of 
breaking related code.
