feat: Homes screen root patching UI improvements

Bug description

Not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but given that it's easy to end up in a situation where Morphe is erroring out, I'd say more of a bug.

• If I don't have the app installed and download it as prompted, Morphe just asks me to pick it and starts patching and ends up failing to install it. There is a label saying to install it first, but labels exist to be ignored. I think the proper way would be to prompt to install it with normal package installer and then read the installed apk directly.
• Simple mode doesn't seem to have an option to pick an already installed app at all. I think it should actually be the only option with the root installer, since it's not possible to mount a mismatching version. It should also check the version and tell the user to either install the correct version (not sure if this works with system apps at all, but if it does it's also worth suggesting to try to "Uninstall updates" in app settings and try to install the correct version again) or if they can't do it to go back and use rootless mode. And there probably should be a label telling to disable automatic updates for the app in play store (or to add it to the blacklist in aurora store)
• Maybe expert mode should also warn that it won't be possible to mount the patched app if you pick it from storage and it doesn't match the installed version? The only use case for allowing to patch at all would be to export the pre-patched apk I think.

Morphe could install the provided APK first then apply mount to it.

It may need UI considerations so the user doesn't think they're done after installing and quit before mount can happen.

The chance of a user having the exact recommended version of YT or YT Music installed is very low. We hide the option to patch using any installed version to simplify instructions. This behavior won't change unless simple mode adds apps that can patch any version.

I don't think it's an issue if the installation happens before patching.

I think Morphe should always check if the correct version is installed and if so just skip file picker entirely and just read the apk from the installed app, and if not ask to pick the apk and install it, and probably check if the correct one was installed to avoid a situation where the user waits a few minutes for the patcher to run and it ends up saying the version isn't correct. But it's up to you if it's worth the effort to do anything more than just prompting to install the apk
