Issue/Bug Description:

Held packages should be treated separately by the shop instead of presenting as an available update. As is, they produce an update available indicator that can't be dismissed, which contributes to alert fatigue.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

• apt-mark hold a package that has an update available
• try to update via pop shop
• see the OS Update "fail" without any output and the update remain as available

Expected behavior:

Held packages should get their own category in the pop shop that doesn't impact the update counter. Ideally, it would be able to see if the highest available version has changed since the hold was put in place so that users could know if it's possible to skip over an incompatible package for a subsequent upgrade.

Other Notes:

This is in response to Nvidia's 525.89.02 drivers which cause issues on multi-monitor, high refresh rate setups.
