We haven't had Evolution or Shotwell installed by default in a long time, so this list is pretty stale. Sync it with upstream, except for Geary (which we don't ship) and Music (we still have Rhythmbox). I'll also omit GNOME Software, since I'm not sure we can expect installing apps to work well in a live session.
a. pre-empt future compose failure due to running out of space
b. existing l-i-t-d persistent root feature depends on the free space on this file system, right now free space is just under 650M and is a bit tight
c. fairly certain free space dropping below 90% is why I'm running into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715699
gnome-software session service automatically downloads yum metadata,
which all goes to the RAM-backed filesystem overlay when running the
live image. This is undesired as it can make it difficult to install
Workstation on low memory devices.
To fix this, this commit disables gnome-software xdg autostart service
and the gnome-shell search provider on the live media.

all workstation based spins are failing due to packagekit causing gpg-agent
spawning and keeping /dev/null open inside the compose environemnet.

we end up with process like above running. this only hit us as the urls
pointed to stopped giving 404 errors

Instead of taking the metadata from PackageKit-cached-metadata package
as we were doing previously, copy it over directly during the compose
from https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/
This makes it much less error prone as we always get the very latest
metadata, and makes maintenance much simpler as we don't need to roll
PackageKit-cached-metadata by hand. Users are also going to appreciate
this because it makes post-GA updates smaller as they won't have to
download updates for the PackageKit-cached-metadata subpackage each time
PackageKit gets updated.
The gnome-settings-daemon updates plugin is gone and update downloading
is handled by gnome-software instead. Adapt the live image schema
overrides for the changes.
