ACRA is sometimes problematic or annoying. Also, whitelabel versions might
want to disable ACRA. The setting the preference defaultValue is an easy
way to do that.

When debugging issues, tracking the client can be quite useful. This makes
an "Expert" preference that adds the app version and a randomly generated,
stored UUID to the query string each time it downloads an index or an app
package.
This is also useful in whitelabeling, for use cases where there needs to be
some kind of identifier to make it work.
If you quickly cycle between installing an app and uninstalling it, then
`app.installedApk` will still be null when AppDetails2.startUninstall()
calls InstallerService.uninstall(). It is better to crash earlier here,
before the Intent is sent with a null APK, because InstallerService is set
to receive Sticky Intents. That means they will automatically be resent
by the system until they successfully complete.
The notification that shows the download/parse progress of the index update
is now controled by the "Show available updates" preference. That means it
will not be shown at all in the notifications bar if that preference is
disabled. There will still be the header inside of F-Droid. Ideally, the
Updating process would be shown in the Updates tab.
This preference is meant for whitelabel builds that are meant to be
entirely controlled by the server, without user interaction, e.g.
"appliances". Some users have asked for such a thing, so it makes sense to
have it available as an expert preference. In general, we want to ensure
that installs/updates always show a notification so that the user is aware
of what is being installed on their computers. That is the same policy as
other app stores like Google Play, etc.
This should make them less scary to people who do not want to see them at
all. It also means that there can be quite a few expert preferences without
making the list super long for most users.
This labels all network, HTTP, and SSL related errors as CONNECTION_FAILED
so that the mirror selection logic will try the connection again with a new
mirror.
This removes a layer of redundancy where there were defaults set in the
Preferences class, as well as in preferences.xml. This makes it possible
for whitelabel versions to change the default values of the preferences by
changing it only in preferences.xml.
"full" is the original F-Droid app with all the features. It should still
build the exact same app after this change. "basic" is the smallest
version of F-Droid possible. It does not yet build, nor work.
