Description

currently, when you drop a repo-features.xml with some features with install=auto mode, these features will get installed ok.

however, later, it can be manually uninstalled from command shell, and this "uninstall" state is persisted by the features service.

instead features service should enforce install mode=auto on karaf restart, in other words, it should check on restart, if install=auto features are really installed and install them when they are not.

alternatively, lets provide an option in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg to control this behavior.
