### Describe the new feature
Android 17 supports the concept of [archiving apps](https://support.google.com/android/answer/15523443?hl=en), where the app's data and icon is kept on the device, but the app itself is removed. The process for unarchiving the app involves telling the original installer to re-download it.
Currently, AppManager doesn't recognize archived apps and treats them as not installed at all (and therefore doesn't recognize that their data is on the device).
### Describe the solution you'd like
App Manager should recognize/list archived apps and support the functions that make sense (opening app settings, showing applicable properties, completely uninstalling, requesting unarchive, etc.)
### Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how App Manager identifies installed apps and compare that with Android 17's archived-app behavior; done means archived apps are listed with applicable properties and support settings, complete uninstall, and requesting unarchive where appropriate.
