We actually do this with PackageKit. It used to work when we were
using yum, but I don't think the libdnf code does any kind of
throttling. Certainly PackageKit knows which transactions are
background and non-interactive, so it certainly makes sense to dribble
those down slowly.

I think this kind of issue is really fixed the hard way, i.e. fixing
bugs and adding unimplemented features rather than just adding complex
UI workarounds.
