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.
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.
Since it is now possible to build and include arbitrary files, like OTA
update ZIP files, the update procedure needs to look for non-APK files that
match the packageName_versionCode pattern of fdroid-generated files.

The original index.xml format needs to stay around for backwards
compatibility, but we shouldn't touch it anymore once the new format is in
place. This is a test to make sure `fdroid update` can still generate the
correct XML.
install_list and uninstall_list should be tuples or lists in order to
ensure that the order is preserved.
These tests also check that the added and lastupdated dates are
working correct, based on the dates in tests/stats/known_apks.txt. I
could see no useful way to test the timestamp, it is just hardcoded
using a regexp search-and-replace. Running these tests manually might
require deleting tmp/apkcache.
