The history of this is that #974 identified a problem, which was fixed in !497. That MR added test coverage for the bug. However, the fix for it actually added a huge performance hit, on the order of 30 seconds or so when calculating the suggested version. This fixes that performance problem by removing the need for a sub query. The end goal is to take the following query: ``` UPDATE app SET suggestedVersion = ( SELECT MAX(apk.version) FROM apk WHERE ... ) ``` and the `WHERE` clause needs to somehow join the outer `app` table with the inner `apk` table, such that the repo in question does not matter. It can't just join directly from `apk.appId -> app.rowid`, because the `app` is specific to a given repository, but we want to select the `MAX(apk.version)` from every related apk, regardless of repo. This commit solves it by joining the inner `apk` table onto an intermediate `app` table, which is used purely so that we can select apks where their `packageId` is the same as the `packageId` of the app being updated.

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.
