The new policy is to move APKs with invalid signatures to the archive,
and only add those APKs to the archive's index if they have valid MD5
signatures.

This syncs up the field names between the fdroiddata .yml files, the keys
used in the implementation in fdroidserver, the index data format, and the
final data structures in fdroidclient. This makes it easier for devs to
follow, and makes the Jackson parsing library automatically handle
converting the data from the index file to Java instances.
This bumps the metadata version since the apkcache will have to be
discarded.
Here are the name changes:
* apkname --> apkName
* id --> packageName
* sha256 --> hash
* version --> versionName
* versioncode --> versionCode
tests/repo/index.xml was changed only to bump the metadata version
from 17 to 18.
Using datetime instances as the internal format makes it much easier to
convert between the formats needed for index.xml and index-v1. apkcache
still uses time tuples and known_apks.txt still uses the ISO date.
A Binary Transparency Log is a append only log of all binaries published by
a repo. This is useful for people to find whether the binary they have
matches what F-Droid has published, and also makes it more difficult for
the published history to be changed without notice, or for a server to give
specific users custom malware binaries.

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.
JSON and YAML are very closely related, so supporting both of them is
basically almost no extra work. Both are also closely related to how
Python works with dicts and pickles. XML is a very different beast, and its
not popular for this kind of thing anyway, so just purge it.
This makes sure there is a GPG signature on any file that is included in
the repo, including APKs, OBB, source tarballs, media files, OTA update
ZIPs, etc. Having a GPG signature is more important on non-APK files since
they mostly do not have any signature mechanism of their own.
This also adds basic tests of adding non-APK/OBB files to a repo with
`fdroid update`.

It is now possible for the server operator to specify lists of apps that
must be installed or deleted on the client (aka "push installs). If
the user has opted in, or the device is already setup to respond to
these requests, then fdroidclient will automatically install/delete
the packageNames listed. This is protected by the same signing key
as the app index metadata.
It generates single XML elements with the data set in the attributes. This
keeps the XML compact and easily extensible, e.g. for adding versionCode,
signingKey, etc as attributes:
<install packageName="com.fsck.k9"/>
<install packageName="at.bitfire.davdroid"/>
<delete packageName="com.facebook.orca"/>

This reverts commit 82d09560c6.
It doesn't work - the setup scripts are expecting a ".bin" file (which
is apparently a 7z archive), but what's actually got is a ".zip".

Also, remove jdk7 as it will become unused. We added jdk8 for
retrolambda, and now that we will use jdk8 as the default, jdk7 is
unnecessary as retrolambda can work fine with just jdk8.
This removes it from the buildserver, and the new CI image also only has
jdk8 from jessie-backports.
Fixes#185.
This replaces the current default behavior of always forcing the
build_tools version and allows the user to set build-tools forcing in
config.py.

serverwebroot has long supported uploading to multiple servers, this bit of
metadata communicates those official mirrors to the client so that it can
automatically do something useful with that information.

For a bit repo like f-droid.org, it makes sense to standardize on a single
format for metadata files. This adds support for enforcing a single data
format, or a reduced set of data formats. So f-droid.org would run like
this if it changed to YAML:
accepted_formats = ['txt', 'yaml']
Then once everything was converted to YAML, it could look like this:
accepted_formats = ['yaml']
For devs that want to build and distribute nightly builds of their apps
using the fdroid tools. The core idea here is to make the fdroidserver
tool suite the single set of tools for all types of builds and releases.
That will hopefully drive more free software developers to make f-droid.org
an core channel for official releases.
