Public bug reported:

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, is 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).
