packagekit: stop supporting searches by package name

Aleix Pol Gonzalez requested to merge work/dont-match-packagenames into master

Back when we started supporting appstream a lot of poorly maintained apps didn't appear in the databases, this made using Discover unbearable, hence adding the feature of searching the package name from the query.

Despite being against our vision, it made sense back then. Nowadays applications should already have adopted AppStream in a way or another and this shouldn't apply anymore.

BUG: 432690
