For now, this is disabled by default and hidden in the expert preferences
since it doesn't do anything yet inside of F-Droid. It is useful now for
whitelabel builds to fetch the install history from another app. #396
This allows a designated app to read the install history from F-Droid via a
ContentProvider. The app is designated by the packageName defined in the
string install_history_reader_packageName.
This totally changed the logic of the "Use Privileged Extension" preference
making it based on whether the Privileged Extension is installed and usable
rather than storing the user's selection. This code now only stores when
the user manually disables using the Privileged Extension even when it is
installed.

The root install method that is available via the "Expert" preferences does
not work on newer than android-19. So when that's the case, this hides
that item from the preferences screen entirely.
* moves apk verification back inside the Installer class
* uses support libs FileProvider for content Uris
* move apk file caching and storage methods into
ApkCache class
This schedules CleanCacheService to run regularly, and delete files older
than the value set in the new "Keep cached apps" preference. It auto-
migrates the old "Cache packages" pref to the new one. The default cache
time for people who did not have "Cache packages" enabled is one day.
Now that we have a nice background service, let's put it to work! This
makes update APKs be automatically downloaded after the index is updated.
Then when the user goes to install the updates, they will not have to wait
for the download part.

This makes it a lot easier to setup all the testing stuff. Mostly,
I'm tired of fighting Android Studio's fragility, so I want to remove
as much non-standardness as possible in the hopes of improving that
situation.
