Enable Xcodes.app to be used as a Standard (ie non Admin) user in managed environments. Install, rename/symbolic link to Xcode.app during activate/switch, uninstall are performed using the helper. An options in the Advanced Preferences pane added to enable/disable this feature.

@MattKiazyk This change is essential in some managed environment where Xcodes.app runs as a standard user and installations are in a central folder like /Applications
