pickle can serialize executable code, while JSON is only ever pure data.
The APK cache is only ever pure data, so no need for the security risks of
pickle. For example, if some malicious thing gets write access on the
`fdroid update` machine, it can write out a custom tmp/apkcache which would
then be executed. That is not possible with JSON.
This does just ignore any existing cache and rebuilds from scratch. That is
so we don't need to maintain pickle anywhere, and to ensure there are no
glitches from a conversion from pickle to JSON.

Debian's autopkgtest defaults to considering any output on stderr as a sign
that the tests failed. it is simple to make this achieve that standard, so
it seems worth it for now at least.
Trying to reuse the pip test run is now a lot more work than just
writing it cutstom for each target platform.
Ubuntu/trusty does not have androguard 3.1.x nor aapt >= 26.x, so
using trusty's aapt will always have errors scraping some names from
APKs. This continues to use Google's binary.
`apt-get update` is now disabled by default by Travis, this adds it
back so that the latest files from the PPA are used.
Here's one example of an issue with pip on trusty:

NameError: name 'platform_system' is not defined
For some reason, the parser stopped working intermittently, even
though the format has been the same since aapt 23 or earlier. Then
also, some of the test cases pointed to symlinks that were no longer
generated, and one test app now has a blank versionName.
Strange that this wasn't caught in the gitlab-ci runs. !484

Instead of just crashing, first try to use the versionName as written in the
build metadata, otherwise just let it be blank. A blank versionName will
cause fdroidclient < 1.3 to crash. Blank versionNames are not allowed in
the .txt metadata format, only .yml.
