feat: encourage to reinstall instead of updating, on signature missmatch

Functionality

Issue

If an app is installed with a different signature, updating with the patched app will fail.

Feature

Android PM can install an app instead of updating (similar to what Play Store does to update apps despite different signatures). If the signatures miss-match, the manager should suggest to install the app instead of updating.

Motivation

This will get rid of package conflicts.

Additional context

It should be investigated, if installing deletes the data of the existing app installation in contrast to an update, if so, this should be explained to the user, in case they do not want to proceed the installation.
