Fix continuos loop of update checks if the refresh cache interval is 0
If the interval for refreshing the cache is set to 0 each check for available
updates refreshes the cache and causes an "updates-changed" signal to be
emitted after a short delay which in turn triggers another check for updates.
The "updates-changed" signal does not actually mean that the number of
available updates has changed but rather that the package metadata cache has
been invalidated. Fix this by blocking the "updates-changed" signal handler
from when a periodic or irregular check is started until 4 seconds after it has
finished. This is necessary since the signal will be delivered with a delay
after a transaction has been completed.
In addition prevent checks for updates triggered by the "updates-changed"
signal from refreshing the cache even the interval is 0 since the emission of
the signal implies that the cache has just been refreshed.
