Short overview
Add ability to manually show the permissions dialog depending on what permissions are actually used by the software depending on libnut.

Use case

  1. If using only the keyboard part - any users would still get the screen recording permission dialog. Which might be confusing/unexpected for users.
  2. Ability to display a message before permission is requested to explain to the user why the permission will be requested to prevent users denying a necessary permission and then being confused why it is not working.
  3. Ability to know if a required permission is disabled so features of the software can be disabled or display warning why it does not work.
