packagekitbackend: de-thread the appstream loading hotfix

Harald Sitter requested to merge work/sitter/threadedhotfix into Plasma/6.0

the threading causes a race condition in module loading where GIO (appstream,packagekit) and libsoup (flatpak) try to load modules at the same time and get stuck on each other. disable threading to temporarily fix this for 6.0

needs addressing in 6.1 in a more reasonable way. perhaps move all plugin loading into a threadpool with size 1? or run the first appstream loading on the gui thread? or have appstream provide an init function?

CCBUG: 481993
