Building Kivy apps should be done with the buildozer=yes method. The
buildozer method should probably be moved to a provisioner once that is in
place.
With the new localization support, the name/summary/description in the
metadata file becomes the global override. So most apps are not going to
have those fields present in their metadata file. This fixes the index.xml
generation to fall back to the localized versions of those fields when they
are not set in the metadata field.

For cases like the OpenVPN vuln that was recently announced, it is useful
for fdroiddata maintainers to be able to mark builds that have known
vulnerabilities.
`fdroid update` crashed for apps that only had screenshots but no graphics
or localized texts because destdir was not being set in that case. This
fixes that and adds a test case.

Fastlane Supply, Triple-T Gradle Play Publisher, and many app stores
include the possibility to specify a website for the author, as distinct
from the website for the app.
closes#204
This uses the "What's New" entry for the CurrentVersionCode and includes it
as the current WhatsNew metadata for the App class.
Things like fastlane supply and Google Play support a "What's New" entry
per-APK, but fdroidclient does not current use anything but the current
version of this data. Right now, it seems we probably only want to have
the latest WhatsNew in the index to save space.
In theory, we could make the WhatsNew data structure follow the structure
of fastlane/Play, but that would quite a bit of complexity for something
that might never be used.

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.

This lets index-v1 be parsed directly into class instances because the
field/instance var names match exactly. The original index v0 element
must retain the 'lastupdated' name for backwards compatibility.
In the future, we should have better internal datatypes for this stuff,
i.e. instead of gradle: ['yes'] for True, actually use a boolean. For now,
make the YAML and JSON metadata produce the same internal data as .txt.
Like with the App class in the commit before, this makes it a lot
easier to work with this data when converting between the internal
formats and external formats like YAML, JSON, MsgPack, protobuf, etc.
The one unfortunate thing here is Build.update. It becomes
dict.update(), which is a method not an attribute.
build.get('update') or build['update'] could be used, but that would
be oddly inconsistent. So instead the field is renamed to
'androidupdate', except for in the .txt v0 metadata files. This better
describes what field does anyway, since it runs `android update`.
Build.update is only referenced in two places right next to each other
for the ant builds, so this change still seems worthwhile.
Python is heavily based on its core data types, and dict is one of the more
important ones. Even classes are basically a wrapper around a dict. This
converts metadata.App to be a subclass of dict so it can behave like a dict
when being dumped and loaded. This makes its drastically easier to use
different data formats for build metadata and for sending data to the
client. This approach will ultimately mean we no longer have to maintain
custom parsing and dumping code.
This also means then that the YAML/JSON field names will not have spaces in
them, and they will match exactly what it used as the dict keys once the
data is parsed, as well as matching exactly the instance attribute names:
* CurrentVersion: 1.2.6
* app['CurrentVersion'] == '1.2.6'
* app.CurrentVersion == '1.2.6'

When making code changes related to the metadata parsing, it is useful to
see how the internal format has changed by seeing the differences in the
dump files. Those files are currently in the binary .pickle format. This
just straight converts them to YAML, which is a text format, so that normal
diff tools work to see changes.
The dump files are named .yaml instead of .yml since .yml is used for hand-
edited YAML files for fdroiddata/metadata, while these dump files here are
a human readable form of a Python pickle.
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 allows a source repo to include a complete metadata file so that it
can be built directly in place using `fdroid build`. If that app is then
included in fdroiddata, it will first load the source repo type and URL
from fdroiddata, then read .fdroid.yml if it exists, then include the rest
of the metadata as specified in fdroiddata, so that fdroiddata has
precedence over the metadata in the source code.
This lets `fdroid build` apps without having a whole fdroiddata setup, but
instead just directly in place in the source code. This also lets devs
optionallu maintain the fdroid metadata as part of their app, rather than
in fdroiddata without loosing any control. This should make it easier to
spread around the maintenance load.
Something like `gradle: yes` in YAML will be parsed as a boolean, since
'yes' is officially defined as a boolean true in YAML. For metadata fields
that need to be lists, this needs to be converted. Same goes for a single
string like `gradle: customFlavor`.
Though the YAML people recommend .yaml for the file extension, in Android
land it seems clear that .yml has won out:
* .travis.yml
* .gitlab-ci.yml
* .circle.yml
* Ansible main.yml
Only keep lists in metadata files in the json format, since they don't
support multiline strings that are readable.
This makes the internal code easier, and a bit faster.
This simplifies usage, goes from
build['flag']
to
build.flag
Also makes static analyzers able to detect invalid attributes as the set
is now limited in the class definition.
As a bonus, setting of the default field values is now done in the
constructor, not separately and manually.
While at it, unify "build", "thisbuild", "info", "thisinfo", etc into
just "build".
This simplifies usage, goes from
app['Foo']
to
app.Foo
