Bug description:
  [Impact]
  GNOME Software has a cache that can be accessed by multiple threads. This can cause GNOME Software to crash. This seems to have been caused by adding support for featured snaps (bug 1663097) as the popular, featured and installed snaps are all requested on different threads.

  [Test Case]
  Since this is a random crash there's not a good test case. Could be checked by looking at errors.ubuntu.com crash reports or repeated restarts of GNOME Software to see if it crashes on startup.

  [Regression Potential]
  Solution is to add a lock around this cache. Some risk of breaking related code.
