Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix misleading "Installation options" label on
 Update/Uninstall operation logs

UpdatePackageOperation and UninstallPackageOperation both logged their
options dump under the header "Installation options:", inherited from
InstallPackageOperation via copy-paste. Since InstallOptions.ToString()
already renders CustomParameters_Install/_Update/_Uninstall separately
by field name, this only affected the header text -- but it's actively
misleading: users configuring a package's "Custom Install Arguments"
field see that same value echoed under an "Installation options:"
banner during an update run, which reads as confirmation that the
install-time argument applies to updates too, even though it doesn't
(CustomParameters_Update is the field that actually gets appended for
update operations, per NpmPkgOperationHelper._getOperationParameters).

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add hint and one-click copy for the three independent
 CLI-argument fields

Custom install/update/uninstall arguments are three separate fields
with no indication that they're independent -- a user who fills in
"Custom install arguments" (the field most naturally reached for
first) has no signal that it won't be used for update or uninstall
operations, only to discover it later via a failed update.

This adds, on both the per-manager default-options panel and the
per-package install-options dialog:
- A short hint explaining the fields are independent
- A "Copy install arguments to update and uninstall" link for users
  who do want the same flag applied everywhere, so they don't have to
  retype it three times
