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.

Enable HttpDownloader to use URL-based HTTP Basic Authentication.
This is a very small merge request that adds the possibility to use URL-based HTTP Basic Authentication in a repository URL. With this change you can for example use `https://user:password@my.repo.com` to authenticate against a private repository.
It would be great if you could merge my little feature request into the master, or let me know what I can do or have to change in order for the merge request to get accepted.
I'm of course open for discussion. My use-case is the identification of individual users. We dynamically create a signed index.jar file for each user which contains an individual set of apps depending on the permissions of the user etc.
HTTP Basic Authentication is on of the possible solutions, another solution would be to use the Android Account Manager, but this would be a much larger change.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,

Clean up tabs fragments
No functional changes, just refactoring. The only visual change is that empty text is now positioned at the center which was the initial design (as far as I understand):

Not sure why it was added initially but now it appears to be unneeded:
the support library does everything right and the lists are themed
properly without any hacks.
Never fallback to UIL for handling image downloads, only use for displaying.
@relan picked up a bug I introduced while refactoring the icon downloading code in !139. This fixes that bug.
Our `IconDownloader` extended `BaseImageDownloader` from UIL. There was an
explicit check in the F-Droid `IconDownloader` which looks for
HTTP/HTTPS/Bluetooth schemes. If it wasn't one of these, it fell back
to the base class. This was what was happening for local cached image
files. As such, when the `getInputStream(...)` method was refactored
to only use F-Droids `DownloadFactory` and not delegate to the base class,
it failed on local "file://" URLs.
This change introduces a `LocalFileDownloader` and makes the `DownloaderFactory`
aware of it.
The `BaseImageDownloader` class only provides support for the following schemes:
* HTTP
* HTTPS
* File
* Android content providers
* Android assets
* Android drawables
F-Droid now supports HTTP, HTTPS, and File URLs. There is not currently any
need for content proiders, assets or drawables to get icons for apps in F-Droid.
If there is a need in the future (e.g. an issue currently discusses loading
icons from installed apps if possible) then that specific `Downloader` can get
introduced to solve the problem.

Cache installed signature
This will later be useful for #122 and others. Also a few more fixes related to signatures and package information.

These are written manually and mostly don't contain HTML. Some html is
fine if you want to use links or markup, but <p> elements are just
pointless and very seldom used. Be consistent in not using them.
Added tests for multiple repositories providing same apks
Right now, multi repo support works, but is kinda funky. While fixing #324, I accidentally broke this support without realising it. So in the interests of making my approach to #324 more test driven, I've written some tests for multi repo support.
Initially I wrote tests for the actual correct, desirable behaviour. Then when it became apparant that we dont' do this, I commented those tests out (but left them there for hopefully future multi-repo work) and then added tests for the current behaviour to make sure we don't introduce regressions.
Android unit testing framework is nice for testing content providers. It is nice for testing file handling. However I really struggled to get it working with both. Had to do some interesting things with instrumentation and contexts in order to get it to work.
I'm sure Android has nice `Service` testing capabilities too. But given the trouble with instrumentation/contexts/files/providers/etc, it was easier for me to refactor the parts of `UpdateService` that I needed to test into a separate, testable class.

Make closing of `Downloader`s more concise.
*NOTE: This is only a WIP branch in so far as I haven't tested it, as it was done on the train before my holiday. The code is final though, so if people are happy it works, please merge.*
The base `Downloader` class now wraps the `InputStream` returned by
any child classes, in order to notify the child class when that stream
is closed. This prevents each child class having to figure out a way
to be notified of this.
This helps keep the API concise, because close handling is dealt with
without the need to add any public methods to the `Downloader` class
hierarchy.
Also removed some dead code which was unused.

Ensure the "no apps to display" doesn't overlap with the category spinner.
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.
