Bug Description

As reported in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/when-an-lxc-command-is-used-on-a-system-without-lxc-lxd-lxd-is-immediately-installed-should-it-be-that-way/46570, it is quite easy to accidentally trigger the on-demand installation of LXD's snap which takes a while.

A better behavior would be for `lxd-installer` to detect if there is a terminal and if yes, prompt for a confirmation before doing the lengthy installation process. If no terminal is detect, it should assume that LXD is to be installed on-demand (current behavior).
