Added LoggingQuery for diagnostics during debug mode. While working on #511 and investigating database performance, I found myself really wanting to understand the bits of F-Droid which were slow and those which were fast due to the database. I created this thing, and thought I'd create a separate MR as it is not directly related to the other stuff, but rather a general utility class that should be helpful. SQLite has a very nice "EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN" command (https://sqlite.org/eqp.html). It is not really meant to be used in production code, as per the docs, but it is super helpful at diagnosing missing indexes or other performance problems with databases. I find it much better than, for example, the MySQL alternative. This commit routes queries from the `ApkProvider` and `AppProvider` through a `LoggingQuery` which (in debug builds) times queries, and if they take longer than a certain threshold, outputs them to logcat. In addition, it will then ask sqlite to explain its query plan for that same query, and output that to logcat too. I created this as a separate class because it has zero dependence on any F-Droid related stuff and might be helpful to other people too. See merge request !350

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.
