AppStream metadata in the Linux Google Chrome repositories

Reported by tomas.po...@gmail.com, Feb 7 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add the Chrome repository to the system
2. Look for it in the GNOME Software (or other software catalogs that are using AppStream)
3. You won't see any information about Chrome because the repository is missing the AppStream metadata

It's not possible to install the Chrome browser through the

What is the expected behavior?
You should see all the information (screenshots, description, ...) about the Chrome within the GNOME Software

What went wrong?
Please add the AppStream metadata for the Chrome to the official RPM repository. It is just a matter of following a process described in [0]. Also it needs to be done for the DEB repositories as well[1].

It is important because without this the Chrome won't be advertised within the Gnome Software application.
