This will allow us to put these up on Weblate and have people start
translating them. Then we can figure out how to actually include and
deploy the translations later. It is unfortunately non-trivial, since
we have to manually figure out the install paths.
If working with a random grabbag of APKs, there can be all sorts of
issues like corrupt entries in the ZIP, bad signatures, signatures that
are invalid since they use MD5, etc. Moving these two checks later means
that the APKs can be renamed still.
This does change how common.getsig() works. For years, it returned
None if the signature check failed. Now that I've started working
with giant APK collections gathered from the wild, I can see that
`fdroid update` needs to be able to first index what's there, then
make decisions based on that information. So that means separating
the getsig() fingerprint fetching from the APK signature verification.
This is not hugely security sensitive, since the APKs still have to
get past the Android checks, e.g. update signature checks. Plus the
APK hash is already included in the signed index.
With a generic file, the file name is the only guaranteed name metadata
field. So if the name is not specified in the metadata, then the name
is set to the filename. This changes that so that the file extension is
stripped from that generated name.
This is useful for parsing APK files, which can include packageName,
versionCode, and optionally 7 char signing key ID (i.e. <sig>).
This also can set the packageName and versionCoe for non APK files, so
that it is easy to assign them to metadata files, and to allow for
upgrades by setting the versionCode in the filename.
Really, it is the fdroidclient parser of index.xml that fails, due to the
hardcoded expectation that there will only ever be a single APK for any
given versionCode. We keep index.xml backwards compatible for old
clients, and use index-v1.json to support new things. Having multiple
APKs that have the same packageName and versionCode will break the client
v0.103.* since that version uses index-v1.json, but still has the hard-
coded database parsing stuff.

uses the standard package.name_123.apk. If that exists, it appends the
shasum. If that exists, then its a duplicate, so its deleted. This should
help @SergeWinters with his 12,000 APKs.
There are many APKs out in the wild that claim to be the same app and
version and each other, but they are signed by different keys. fdroid
should be able to index these, and work with them. This supports having
the developer's signature via reproducible builds, random collections of
APKs like repomaker, etc.
Graphics and localized text can now be stored in the package folders,
always in a folder that is named for the locale. The upstream developer
signature is also now stored, so that the upstream APK can be reproduced
even if they remove their APKs.
