Description Harald Sitter 2016-05-23 14:51:00 UTC 
When an appstreamurl cannot be resolved, discover shows the loading page forever and ever and ever.

This most notably happens if an app doesn't actually exist such as org.kde.kate on ubuntu

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. appstream://org.kde.kate.desktop
2. discover loading forever

Actual Results:  
if an application cannot be resolved, that should be detected and raise suitable error information for the user.
