Remarks

A class to encapsulate constraints for installation.

When used with #checkInstallConstraints(List, InstallConstraints, Executor, Consumer), it specifies the conditions to check against for the packages in question. This can be used by app stores to deliver auto updates without disrupting the user experience (referred as gentle update) - for example, an app store might hold off updates when it find out the app to update is interacting with the user.

Use Builder to create a new instance and call mutator methods to add constraints. If no mutators were called, default constraints will be generated which implies no constraints. It is recommended to use preset constraints which are useful in most cases.

For the purpose of gentle update, it is recommended to always use #GENTLE_UPDATE for the system knows best how to do it. It will also benefits the installer as the platform evolves and add more constraints to improve the accuracy and efficiency of gentle update.

Note the constraints are applied transitively. If app Foo is used by app Bar (via shared library or bounded service), the constraints will also be applied to Bar.
