Description
There is a feature missing from the PANOS API. While you can easily retrieve all applications and all applications group, you cannot retrieve root applications.
This means that if you want to check if "Jira" is a valid application, you 'd think you can't because you would only be able to retrieve :
- jira-base
- jira-downloading
- jira-editing
- jira-posting
- jira-uploading
But Jira is a valid application, which contains all 5 above-mentioned applications.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the Python SDK entry points that retrieve applications and application groups from the PAN-OS API. Check how a root application such as Jira relates to its jira-* child applications, then add coverage showing that the root application can be retrieved. Done means root applications are returned without breaking existing application and group retrieval.
