I went through all of the source code replacing anything that is now
possible using appcompat-v7. appcompat-v7 is the official way to handle
backwards compatibility, and it is supported by Google and others. Using it
as much as possible should make the code more maintainable and readable by
others since they'll be used to seeing the appcompat-v7 patterns from other
projects.

Previously, it was using the native android.widget.SearchView.
Now it uses the widget from appcompat. For good measure, I also
made it so that the search button is always in the action bar,
rather than being hidden behind a menu sometimes.
This implements live filtering in a SearchView so that it is easy to search
for the apps you want to include in your Local Repo. This requires some
newer stuff, so I switched it to the android-11 Activity until appcompat-v7
is included. All this functionality will work fine with appcompat-v7.
This gets the data about which apps are installed from the ContentProvider
that pserwylo recently added for data about "Installed Apps" and presents
a list view for the user to select from by touching each line. Then if the
user chooses "Update Repo", it will regenerate the local repo based on the
current selection. It will always include FDroid in the local repo.
