1671681 - temporary and builtin addons miss some AOM install events

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect, P3)

While working on bug 1624513 it was discovered that testing with temporary addons did not refresh data in about:addons. Looking into the issue, this could affect builtin addons as well.

Some events in the install flow are not issued, as well, events happen in a different order in relation to bootstrapscope calls.

The attached patch illustrates a "fix" but is likely not sufficient. A more proper fix might be to create an AddonInstall class designed for temporary/builtin addons so any event listeners that might use the install instance would work properly.

This should not be considered for landing without more work.
