Search as the user types
Fixes#323.
This does away with the separate `SearchResult` and instead applies the search to the currently viewed tab on the main screen (Available, Installed, Updates). When filtering the Available list, it filters the currently selected category.
Note however that there are still times when the old style `SearchDialog` will be shown over the top of the action bar rather than the `SearchView` within the action bar. These times include:
* When a user with a hardware keyboard starts typing from the main screen.
* On older devices with a "search" hardware button.
* Probably some other cases (I think when there is not enough screen real estate, but haven't seen that happen).
In cases where this dialog is shown, filtering the lists as you type does not seem to be an option. I tried to figure out how to do that, but failed. If someone else figures it out, that would be great. However, when the search is submitted, it will hide the `SearchDialog` and populate the `SearchView`, focus it, and apply the search appropriately.
There is a script in the `F-Droid/tools/` subdirectory which will consecutively send various intents to F-Droid relating to search. This includes Play, market, Amazon search links. For good measure, I also made it send intents to do with viewing app details. This should probably be made into a proper instrumented test at some point, but I didn't have the time to figure out how to do that. Maybe a project for future @pserwylo.
One unknown is the performance implications. There is no problems on my Nexus 4 with Android 5.0. My Chinese/ebay/$30/Android 2.3.4 device seems good enough too.

The system's are sometimes wrong, e.g. unexpected names. This also helps
our support across different Android versions without having to worry as
much about the system's language support.

In addition, added a @Nullable constraint on the categorySpinner
and a null guard when resuming the fragment to handle possible
null cases (though I don't think there will be any).
This caused the entire list view to e animated when navigating
back to the Available tab. Tried switching the `animateLayoutChanged=true`
to a child view only containing the category spinner, but this is not how
the animation handling works. It needs to animate both the thing being
hidden/shown, and also the next sibling of that thing to work properly.
Thus, moving the spinner to its own child and leaving the list didn't work.

Fix 324 : Out of memory errors while updating repos.
Fixes#324, but in the process makes the updater take a lot longer. My benchmarks tell me that an update which used to take approx 30 seconds on my Nexus 4 now takes about 50-55 seconds. This is because it first inserts the apps into the database (in a temp table) and then subsequently copies that table to the actual table. This means there is a lot more disk access than before.
I'm open for discussion on whether this tradeoff is worth it - however I'll caution that there is always going to be a tradeoff between faster and more memory vs slower and less memory. This is the case with all software, and perhaps more so with memory constrained devices such as phones. Also, as the repo index grows (until perhaps we are able to extract the app descriptions in the future), this will become more of an issue.
I'd also like this to be CR'ed properly before merging, because it changes some important code around the repo updater. It is important because security, and it is also important because it is the main thing that F-Droid needs to do (get a list of apps to show the user).

Replace search dialog with a search widget
SearchView is the recommended way to implement search UI. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html#UsingSearchWidget
The UX is still far from ideal but looks much better now.
