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.

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.

This filename has some messed up bytes related to bi-directional script
that is included (Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left). GNU/Linux always
interprets filenames as pure byte sequences. Windows and OSX store
filenames as Unicode strings. So on OSX, the invalid filename gets
converted to a valid name. That works fine, but the test fails because it
is compared to a file generated on Ubuntu, where it preserves the byte
sequence.
This includes an APK with a valid Unicode filename that includes
bi-directional script.
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.
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.
This just makes it easier for people writing build recipes. Rewriting will
output a list of strings as well.
The test index.xml and categories.txt are updated to include the new number
categories, and the changed CurrentVersionCode to 2147483647 (MAX_VALUE)
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.
