1810718 - "Addon:Install" should support installing an add-on that is enabled in Private Browsing mode

Right now the Addon:Install command only supports a single flag which is for a temporary installation. It would be helpful to also have an eg. allowPrivateBrowsing flag which would set the right permissions to let the add-on also run in private browsing windows.

Therefore some additional permissions have to be set after the addon has been installed and it's id is known. This could look like:

+    const perms = {
+      permissions: ["internal:privateBrowsingAllowed"],
+      origins: [],
+    };
+    await lazy.ExtensionPermissions.add(id, perms);
+    let addon = await lazy.AddonManager.getAddonByID(id)
+    await addon.reload();
