bash package installation recommendations

Description

One nice feature modern Linux desktops have is recommending installing packages for commands.

Here is an example on Fedora: 

$ qemu-system-ppc
bash: qemu-system-ppc: command not found...
Install package 'qemu-system-ppc-core' to provide command 'qemu-system-ppc'? [N/y]

We could do something extremely similar with pkgman: 

/Code> meson
-bash: meson: command not found
/Code> pkgman search cmd:meson
Status  Name   Description                     
-----------------------------------------------
        meson  A High productivity build system
/Code>

Mock up A "Let the user figure it out": 

/Code> meson
-bash: meson: command not found

The following software packages provide cmd:meson...
Status  Name   Description                     
-----------------------------------------------
        meson  A High productivity build system

Mock up B (more automated + fedora like): 

/Code> meson
-bash: meson: command not found
Install 'meson' package for cmd:meson? [N/y]:

Replying to PulkoMandy:

pkgman install command_not_found

It is broken or something. Will report at HaikuPorts.
