Use initLoader instead of resetartLoader. Call onResume after setting category. While working on !311, I had some logging in place in the `AppProvider`. I ended up straying into an investigation of issue #606 and noticed with my logging that we have been doing more queries than required for some time, because the loader was being forceably recreated when it could instead be reused in onResume. Perhaps more importantly, we were querying twice for list of apps to display. The first time is "Give me all the apps" because we haven't set the category yet. Then we set the category, which causes us to ask for "Apps matching this category". The fix for this is for the `onResume` method (which results in a cursor being created) to be called _after_ setting the selected category is set. This ensures that the query is run has the correct category the first time, and needn't be run again. I am not confident that this fixes the issue in #606, but I haven't seen it reproduced since I've implemented this fix. See merge request !312

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
