Workaround installd/PackageKit restriction (#1029) via a methodology found by @alienator88.

The workaround requires root privileges for get/purchase, install, lucky & update/upgrade.

Automatically requests root privileges via running sudo in an executable shell wrapper around mas.

Root privileges may also be supplied by running sudo mas … on your command line.
