[Dash] app preview images cannot be expanded to full size

[Selene ToyKeeper]

In the Click app store, apps include images to show what they look like while running. This is nice, but I often want to zoom in to see the details. This function works in Ubuntu Software Center and in the Android app store, not to mention most other online stores (whether for apps or not), but not in Click.

As a sanity test, I handed an Ubuntu phone to a muggle and asked her to find an interesting app and install it. She found the app store, found an app, looked at the previews, and then tried for a couple minutes to enlarge the images before giving up. She was then frustrated and didn't bother to actually tap 'install'.

We should probably add the ability to view the full image.
