    Always create an app if the cached one matches any prefix in gs-appstream
    
    When creating an app, if there's a matching cached one but it has the
    "match any prefix" quirk, then we should proceed with creating a new app
    because the cached one, due to that quirk, will behave differently than
    our newly created one: e.g. it'll use refine_wildcard, it won't be able
    to get a management plugin, etc.
    
    This prevents problems associated with the behaviors mentioned above:
    e.g. if there's an app in the global cache matching any prefix, and then
    AppStream tries to create one from the AppStream data, it would reuse
    the cached one instead; then it would be refined but would never get an
    icon because the icons plugin does not implement refine_wildcard.
