SUMMARY
Discover does not find updates for addons installed via GHNS windows.
My screenshot shows that a update to qogir icon theme is available but
Discover does not find it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install an addon via a GHNS window
2. wait update to such addon to be released
3. open Discover

OBSERVED RESULT
Discover does not find the update to addon and indicates that your system is already updated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover should find and install updates to addons installed via GHNS windows.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition

Load the KNewStuff updates information on Discover startup

Without this, Discover only loads the installed items, but does not
also check whether there are updates available. This is cached by
the KNSCore::Engine, so we don't need the throttling in Discover itself,
but also if this is not done during the initialisation step, the updates
information will simply not be available.
