Describe a description of the new feature

App Manager's installer should behave more like package installer.

Describe the solution you'd like

It should check if an application has the permission to install unknown applications. If not, it should either ask if the installer application can install applications or open the settings page where it can be enabled. Installed applications should be attributed to the application where they are installed by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The regular Package installer has the aforementioned behavior but lacks features from App Manager's Installer.

It already works this way in no-root mode. I'm not sure whether this is possible in any other mode of operation, because in those cases, the package is installed by Shell, not App Manager.

Checking the installation permission should be left to App Manager in privileged mode.

Thoughts, @MuntashirAkon?

I think it should be done outside that issue.
