Previously, there were different pieces of business logic, invoked at different times, which would touch subsets of the UI. This change rips that out, and replaces it with a single place where the UI is setup. This can always be called safely, and it will render the correct data for the current state of the app (e.g. downloading, waiting for install, etc). The AppListItemState class is a dumb object which keeps track of what is supposed to be displayed in the UI. The AppListItemController now creates a different AppListItemState depending on what state the list item is in. This AppListItemState is then used to bind the values of each UI widget. All of the binding code is now in the single `resetView()` method, but all of the business logic for what the view should look like is separated into different `getViewState*()` methods. This separation should make it easier to make sense of the UI code, and hopefully should be testable should somebody choose to write tests for it in the future.

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.
