Similar issue to: https://github.com/StarGW-net/karma-firewall/issues/3

I am really got keen on Karma blocking new apps by default. User forgets then we get the blame!

A new App will not be active after an install until the user starts that app for the first time.

I am considering two options:

1) We monitor for any new packages installed. This requires an extra Android permission. Google have a track record of removing this sort of access from third party apps.

or

2) Since Karma runs in the background we can periodically count the number of apps (quick) or check all apps (slow) installed and if this changes show a dialog with an option to block these new apps.

Note the way Karma works is that only apps explicitly added by the user are sent to the VPN, where Karma black holes the traffic. Karma never gets access and will never have access to allowed apps traffic.
