Bug description:
  The inline icon_data that is currently being provided by the software-
  center-agent on the production server has been deprecated and must be
  removed from the Software Center client. Instead, the icon for
  packages provided by the agent should be downloaded directly using the
  icon_url field.

  Test case for SRUs:
  1) remove software-center cache in ~/.cache/software-center
  1a) FOR NATTY AND MAVERICK ONLY: run SOFTWARE_CENTER_BUY_HOST=https://sc.staging.ubuntu.com /usr/share/software-center/update-software-center-agent
  2) run SOFTWARE_CENTER_BUY_HOST=https://sc.staging.ubuntu.com software-center
  3) verify that there are no icons in the purchase section
  4) install the version from -proposed
  5) repeat step 1, 1a (if on natty or maverick), and 2 and verify that icons get downloaded
