gs-content-rating: Backport OARS/CSM mapping changes from appstream-glib

Philip Withnall requested to merge oars-csm-update into master

This is a backport of commit 01e9ee8113 from appstream-glib:

as-content-rating: Lower the OARS/CSM mapping of sex-homosexuality/intense

This rationalises it with the OARS/CSM mapping of
sex-themes/intense, and with many western societal norms. It is
against the laws and morals of various western countries to discriminate
on sexual orientation, so the mappings for sex-homosexuality/intense and
sex-themes/intense should be the same.

The mappings for the other values of sex-homosexuality and sex-themes
remain different, as their descriptions aren’t as comparable (for
example, for `mild`, the descriptions are “Indirect references to
homosexuality” vs “Provocative references or descriptions”).

The sex-homosexuality ratings category does need to continue to exist,
though, as it’s illegal in some countries to *not* discriminate on
sexual orientation. Those countries can provide and maintain their own
OARS/age mappings.

See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pwithnall/malcontent/-/issues/21.
This issue is now being solved in appstream-glib as the content rating
code has been moved there so it can be shared between malcontent and
gnome-software.
