The installType "normal" should be broken down into more distinct installTypes

Reported by chrome-a...@ironsrc.com, Jul 10 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.49 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Suggestion to differentiate between webstore and inline installations of extension, with regards to the "installType" value.

1. Install an extension with management premissions (e.g. bahkljhhdeciiaodlkppoonappfnheoi)
2. On dev tools console window, get the extension install type
   example JS code: chrome.management.get(chrome.runtime.id, function(ext){ console.log("installType = " + ext.installType); });
3. Perform steps 1-2 on the following:
   1. Extension installed via registry sideload installation
   2. Extension installed via Chrome webstore
   3. Extension installed via inline installation

What is the expected behavior?
Cases 1-3 have different installType value.
1. Extension installed via registry : "installType = sideload"
2. Extension installed via Chrome webstore : "installType = webstore"
3. Extension installed via inline installation : "installType = inline"

What went wrong?
It would be better to differentiate between inline installation via land page vs. Chrome webstore installation.
1. Extension installed via registry : "installType = sideload"
2. Extension installed via Chrome webstore : "installType = normal" (same as inline)
3. Extension installed via inline installation : "installType = normal" (same as webstore)

jawag@, is this already on the radar somewhere?

Yes -- the Webstore team is working on a revamped stats UI in the developer dashboard, which should include the ability to breakout installations by source.

assigned -> jawag per #2.  Feel free to dupe this into an existing bug if there is one.

You started fixing this bug over two years ago. Are you still working on it? You can update the status to "archived", "wontfix", or "closed". You can remove yourself as owner and change status to "untriaged", but if this is still a real bug, please do not sit on it.
