Subject: [PATCH 1/3] shell: Improve the error message when whole update
operation fails
In case the whole updates operation fails and we don't have the data
which app failed, show 'Unable to install updates' error instead of
'Unable to update "(null)"'.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/issues/480
