Bug Description

The description of the update is displayed with new lines removed, that matches the upstream design style but not the Ubuntu changelog which are often in a format with sections/items. It would look better to display the text without formating as it has been written

The problem is GNOME Software wants to markup the change information. I wasn't able to get it formatted easily to look good.

the changes include
- not listing the changelog details in the update list, but just the package description/names
- displaying the changelogs with their original format in the details dialog
- don't add extra new lines
