Print "Last processed on" in addition to "Last updated on"

[sidt4]

Due to recent appstream generation infrastructure issue (https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=783933), metadata was not updated for apps. AS went live again yesterday, but I'm not yet seeing the updated metadata. It's quite difficult and tedious to look into the logs to figure out what exactly happened. It would be nice to have more details in the app's metainfo page.

E.g. Add the following information

Current Status:

Last updated on: 2023-09-02 20:37 [UTC]

New Status:

Last updated on: 2023-09-02 20:37 [UTC], Last processed on: 2023-10-02 20:37 [UTC]

When hovering over the Last processed on, we can show

Last processed version: 44.2-3
Result: No change

Example:

From https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/metainfo/gnome-boxes.html

Appstream metadata for gnome-boxes is 44.2-3

"Last updated" is the same as "Last processed" - pages are always refreshed unless there is no change. What you are running into is the fact that the CDN copy wasn't fully up-to-date yet. There's really nothing asgen could do about that.

Should this be called as Last generated on ( generated as in appstream generator ) ?

Since we're dealing with packages Updated have a different meaning.
