Add ability to replace user context installs with system context installs

Similar to this request:
Replace EXE installation by MSI
https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-3771


There is a need to be able to replace a user-context installation with a system-context installation. For example, detecting user-context installations of Chrome and replacing them with managed system context installs.

This is more complex since the requirements script for the update in Intune will need to scan all user profiles for detection signatures of the application, and in some cases, be able to perform user-context uninstallations of those (which would be made easier when PSADT integration is available in pre-install scripts).

Additional complexities lie in the SDP logic used for WSUS updates, since the detection logic is far more limited here.
