This gives a lot more flexibility to the user to cover bandwidth, power,
and privacy issues related to network traffic. The current implementation
does not represent these prefs as well as it should. For example, it does
not force the traffic over the preferred network type if the other type is
set to "never". Instead it just tracks the "unmetered" status of the
active network, and acts based on that.

As nice as it would be to help the users, F-Droid is not well positioned to
help the user with this problem. The Android OS itself should do it. Plus
this issue has been open a long time, without much work on it, and the
existing solution is causing crashes.

Utils.getBinaryHash() is used in a lot of places in the code, so its not
easy to handle this specific issue. Here's one example:
org.fdroid.fdroid.Utils$PotentialFilesystemCorruptionException: java.io.IOException: read failed: EIO (I/O error)

* This installer is invoked when for non-apk/media files, and
copies them to an appropriate folder on the sdcard.
* We also introduce a FileInstallerActivity to ask for storage
permissions at runtime, as needed by Android 6.0 and above,
and handle the install/uninstall process.
* A toast is shown with the install path after installation.
TODO:
* Manage Installed Apps screen doesn't show media files.
Lots of languages really need the <plurals> tags to make sense, so
this also makes lint exit with an error when it finds strings that
should be <plurals>

<plurals> handles the grammar needed for numbers/quantities in various
languages. Like in a number of slavic languages, numbers ending in 0,
1 or others have separate grammar. In English, there is just 1 and
then all the rest (0 days, 2 days, 3 days, etc). <plurals> does not
handle multiple strings for different quantities, like having a
different string for each number case. For that, we have to do it in
Java and have multiple <strings>

Now that we've moved the first screen to "Latest", we always want to do
our best to show something there. This preference is pretty redundant in
light of this.
