[packagekit] One-click installation from XML file

[郭云鹤]

I found ubuntu has use a special protocol to install package from web. The
link URL is like "apt://libreoffice,libreoffice-base".
https://wiki.debian.org/AptProtocol

This protocol is more convenient than download a XML file. I think it is
similar with the browser plugin you mentioned. It does not add
repositories. And users will be informed what packages they are going to
install. I think it is safer than let users copy and paste commands or
download a script without checksum.

I found in openSUSE and Fedora, PackageKit browser plugin was installed by
default. But I don't know how to generate a url. Could you tell me? Thanks!
