Expanding this to cover all of the chrome.management events, namely:
- onInstalled https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management#event-onInstalled
- onUninstalled https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management#event-onUninstalled
- onEnabled https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management#event-onEnabled
- onDisabled https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management#event-onDisabled

Also making this a P4 as we're not sure whether we will implement these. The only extensions we found in the list of popular extensions that use these API events seem to use them in a questionable way.

We are going to hold off on implementing this API method until some compelling use cases are presented by the developer community.

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
