Bug Description

When displaying the details for an application, it would be neat to display three or four "related apps", or apps that other people downloaded when downloading the current application.

This could use ubuntu-recommender's public API to retrieve recommended apps for the current application.

Like the reviews currently do, it would be great to lazy-load these recommendations so that the page loads quickly and they don't need to be pre-fetched from ubuntu-recommender for all apps.

I was just looking for the correct api call, and I assume it's this one:

https://rec.ubuntu.com/api/1.0/recommend_app/firefox/

which recommends nautilus-gksu 1st. I'll add a config switch for this feature so that we can display them when we think the recommendations are more useful (ie. using installed app data?).
