Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1405162

Description of problem:

Currently during any repo sync, we:

1. check to see if there was any change (or mismatch of unit counts)
2. IF so we request all UUIDs of rpms in the repo
3. We then fetch all rpm units by their UUID

After chatting with mhrivnak, the unit metadata for an rpm should never change (for the fields we care about), so we could optimize this by getting the list of UUIDs and then only fetching (and updating) units that aren't in the repo.

This should speed up repo syncing quite a bit.

We may want to add a 'force' sync option to override this behavior as well.
