Bug Description

[Impact]
GNOME Software shows in the startup applications list and can be disabled. This is a feature that should not be easily disabled by the user.

[Test Case]
1. Open Startup Applications

Expected result:
GNOME Software is not shown

Observed result:
GNOME Software is shown and can be disabled.

[Regression Potential]
Low - this just hides this entry.

If a user had disabled the gnome-software service from automatically starting in the background, it will now be more difficult to re-enable it.
rm ~/.config/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop

The gnome-software service is a bit heavy (LP: #1592678) so some users do disable it. The downside is that by disabling it, the Software app takes much longer to start.
