Liberapay was originally included using a numeric ID, since they had
not yet finalized the public URLs. Now it is a username. So this
logic prefers the username in Liberapay: field, and keeps the old
LiberapayID: to ease migration. LiberapayID: will not override
Liberapay:. Clients are expected to prefer Liberapay: over LiberapayID:
These entries are hardcoded as a single line in all the app stores, so
newlines should be stripped to get the data simple to use. This is in
contrast with the on-disk format for Fastlane and Triple-T, which includes
a newline in the title.txt and short_description.txt files. I think all
files in those systems are normalized to end in a newline.
Using a filename based on the hash of the contents means that the caching
algorithms for fdroidclient and browsers can safely cache the file forever
using the filename, since this guarantees that the contents will never
change for a given filename.
This does not cover screenshots, only icon.png, featureGraphic.png,
tvBanner.png, and promoGraphic.png.

699b3e4c69 got it wrong for targetSdkVersion.
Also, one confusing thing is that aapt outputs "sdkVersion: '3'" for
com.politedroid_3.apk but no "sdkVersion:" for no.min.target.sdk_987.apk.
F-Droid never really supported running on android-1 or android-2, so it
seems pointless to debug support for them.
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.
