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.

There is no layout .xml file for the updated/installed list,
but there is for the available apps list. As a result, the `TextView` containing
the empty list message is added dynamically. With the recent improvements to
the category spinner, a `RelativeLayout` was used instead of a `ListView`. To
remedy this, the layout has been augmented to ensure the dynamically added
`TextView` still displays correctly.
