Suggestion: install neon packages to separate directory

[Pyroman]

For most people newness doesn't matter if it just works. Telegram issue 
is just for example, I can get it from official website. There is many 
other Qt apps in the repo and many of them doesn't have official newer 
builds compatible with ubuntu 18.04. In Neon 16.04 I had same issue with 
sqlitebrowser app, for example.

Also I don't like to mess with many 3rd party repositories for every 
single app.  This also can make more dependency problems in the future.
