Fix admin rights handling during installer/updater/uninstaller runs
The installer.gainAdminRights() and installer.dropAdminRights() methods
are invokable from the scripting API. During installing, updating or
uninstalling components, installer does it's own decision making to
request and drop admin rights on-demand, but this could be overridden
with the aforementioned methods.
This was not taken into account, instead it was only checked if admin
rights were gained in the context of the calling method. Fix by
checking if the admin rights were present at the start of the installer,
or if they were requested by anyone during installation.
