Use AOSP Installer if permission check fails

username-removed-16558 requested to merge dschuermann/fdroidclient:fallback-install into master

If the old repo index is used and the permission check fails in ApkVerifier, this allows a fallback to the AOSP DefaultInstaller to show all permissions. This has been discussed in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/704

Unfortunately, this shows our permission screen before download and then afterwards when the ApkVerifier fails the permission screen of the AOSP DefaultInstaller, i.e., the user sees two permission screen which she needs to acknowledge. This should only happen if an old repo format is used, thus I think this is okay. I don't know of any other solution to this problem.
