Bug Description

[Impact]
GNOME Software shows the 'core' snap as an application. It should be correctly marked as a runtime so GNOME Software will display it more appropriately.

[Test Case]
1. Ensure at least one snap is installed so the core snap has been installed.
2. Open GNOME Software.
3. Browse to installed apps.

Expected result:
'core' is shown as an add-on.

Observed result:
'core' is shown in the app list.

[Regression Potential]
Fix is to tag the app object as a 'runtime' in GNOME Software based on the snap 'type' field. This could expose new bugs in the runtime code.

The title field can be set in the store website, but there's still work required for snapcraft to allow you to set this field and the store to extract it on upload.
