Updates definition of `install_sources` #778

Closed diekus closed 2 months ago

Updates the definition of the install_sources's behaviour to be up to the implementor of the API, and details mechanisms that developers have to tailor the app's distribution to their needs.

Chatted offline. WRT my comment around browsers behaving differently, Diego pointed out that devs will already need to handle error cases, so for the scenario described above, the store can decide that, after a certain number of failed installations, it should prompt the user to navigate to the site and try to install it themself. Plus, if most browsers decide to allow by default, then this is a non-issue
