__package_apt: add --install-recommends parameter

For a good reason, __package_apt doesn't install recommended packages as
default. But the option --install-recommends comes handy if you want to
install a package where you want to install all recommended packages
(and not to install all of them separately).

Also, the manpage now explains that the type won't install recommended
packages by default.
