Description: Extension point for registering global install handlers. Global
install handlers can be referenced by features
(using the <feature> <install-handler>
tags) without having to include a copy of the handler code as
part of the downloadable feature.

API Information: Registered install handler classes must implement
org.eclipse.update.core.IInstallHandler
interface.
Implementers should extend base class org.eclipse.update.core.BaseInstallHandler
.
Supplied Implementation: The platform supplies a simple install handler that is registered as org.eclipse.update.core.DefaultInstallHandler
. If used, it will copy any non-plug-in data entries provided with the feature into the feature installation directory.
