Doesn't allow filtering all installed applications

Bug description:
The malcontent package today doesn't really work as a user would expect
in Ubuntu. Known issues today:
* Only allows blocking flatpak apps
* Allow/Deny app installation only effects user installable flatpaks
via GNOME Software, which isn't included in Ubuntu. On a default
Ubuntu Desktop installation enabling/disabling software installation
has no effect.
[ Impact ]
* Ubuntu patches applied enable filter any app installed on the system
* Hides the UI for enabling/disabling app installation as that switch doesn't
actually do what a user would expect on Ubuntu
* Removes documentation related to the software installation UI
[ Test Plan ]
* Ensure gnome-control-center >= 1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 is installed
* Add a new non-admin user with gnome-control-center
* Selecting "Parental Controls" in the UI after creating the new account
should open the malcontent-control dialog
* Click unlock and enter your password to allow updating the app filter
* The dialog should only show two entries under "Application Usage
Restrictions", "Restrict Web Browsers" and "Restrict Applications"
* Select "Restrict Applications" should open a dialog showing all apps
* Toggle the switch for an app and close the dialog
* Login to a user session with the restricted user account and confirm the
application icon isn't show in the GNOME app grid
[ Regression Potential ]
* Very low, malcontent isn't included in Ubuntu by default, and even
if it was installed, it wasn't accessible from gnome-control-center
as that was disabled until the SRU of
gnome-control-center=1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
* malcontent-control was accessible from the command line, but would only
allow filtering flatpak apps that included X-Parental-Control in the
desktop file
