Description

While autostarting kars is a good idea for kars representing an application it is not good for kars representing a repository.

For example if you create a kar from all camel features to use camel offline then it makes no sense to start all the camel features when this kar is deployed.

So I propose to add a Manifest entry for the kar file like:
Karaf-Features-Start: false

If this entry is found then the feature repo files are installed but not started. If the entry is missing then all features are started.
