[packagekit] SetHints

[Daniel Nicoletti]

The use case is that some users want to
be able to tell how much bandwidth it should
use, changing the download speed yourself
can't be measured in in a good weight since
you don't know the user's bandwidth.

Also this option will go to the settings tab
which most users don't care but those
who have 3g connections or similar want to
be able to use the internet while downloading
packages.
