Replace Software Center with Bazaar

[diagnostics0]

I would like to propose that in the future, Software Center be replaced with Bazaar as the primary Flathub app store. It has already been adopted by Universal Blue. I used it while exploring Bluefin and it's very impressive. It is fast, responsive, and customizable.

Just having a quick look about the project and I came across this discussion response:

kolunmi/bazaar#8 (comment)

It indicates that Bazaar doesn't integrate Packagekit and so is only focused on flatpaks. Whilst our current state is that we only have flatpaks in our Gnome Software, this is because we haven't yet completed the packagekit integration, though this work is currently happening right now.

AerynOS is not a typical atomic distribution that requires flatpaks for package installs. As such, we will eventually flesh out our own repo and have this as a way of installing packages. As such, we will need to maintain something like Gnome Software and then Bazaar would end up being a secondary app store rather than the only option for our distro.

Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure if AerynOS was going to incorporate PackageKit or not. Part of of the appeal of Bazaar is not having to spend resources having to get that integration working. But if both could be provided I would say that's a win-win. :)
