Bug Description

[Impact]
Running GNOME Software gives many JsonArray warnings on the command line:
Json-CRITICAL **: json_object_get_array_member: assertion 'node != NULL' failed
Json-CRITICAL **: json_array_get_length: assertion 'array != NULL' failed
This is due to the code not handling there being no plugs defined in the interface table (which is valid when it is empty).

[Test Case]
1. Run GNOME Software from the command line
$ killall gnome-software
$ gnome-software

Expected result:
No JsonArray critical warnings are show.

Observed result:
Many JsonArray critical warnings are show.

[Regression Potential]
Risk of additional checks breaking expected behaviour.

An upload of gnome-software to xenial-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Since this upload includes the same change for 'new media API' as others, I would feel much safer if we set a minimal version depenency to libsnapd-glib-dev (>= 1.45) - since it seems there was more than one snapd-glib version in xenial.".

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-software into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
