* Implemented in briar-core as a `ScheduledExecutorService`
that gets started when the app starts
* The briar-api has a `FeedManager` interface
that the UI can use to register and unregister feeds
* In this first iteration, feeds are fetched via HTTP(S), not Tor

Remove Tor binaries from repo. #203
This patch removes the Tor binaries from the repo - the binaries will be downloaded at build time and verified using SHA-256 hashes included in the repo.
After this branch has been merged I plan to reduce the size of the repo by rewriting the commit history to delete the Tor binaries (and various other cruft that used to live in the repo, such as fonts).
After the history has been rewritten, everyone will need to delete their local repo and clone a fresh copy. I'll send out some warnings beforehand.

This commit renames identicons to avatars in field names, and uses an ImageView
derivative to show the identicons, which should make implementing #214 easier.
PanicKit does distinguish between two kinds of panic responses:
* default responses such as logging out which are non-destructive and
do not require user interaction, so that the basics work without
configuration
* destructive responses such as deleting user data. These require
some sort of authentication to make sure they are not triggered
by malicious apps
The second type of responses is implemented with this commit.
Authentication is done by comparing the package name
which is very weak. It requires the user to opt-in to
destructive responses and to configure from which app
to receive those (since there might be many different panic
trigger apps).
While possible to uninstall an app and install one with the same
package name afterwards, this always triggers notifications to
the user (if the attacker does not have root access).
Still that is no sufficient security for Briar's requirements,
so that TrustedIntents are used as well to make sure that the
app sending the destructive trigger is signed by a signing key
that we specified before. Currently, that is the one from the
GuardianProject and from IilabEngineering who does the Amnesty
International Panic App.
The responsibility of checking that the panic TRIGGER is
legitimate lies with the app responding to the trigger, so Briar
in this case. This commit checks whether the TRIGGER comes from
a trusted app before performing destructive actions,
but does perform the default action even when triggered from
untrusted apps.
Closes#210
The button hides itself when you scroll down the list of contacts
and shows again when you scroll up.
To properly color the button, the accent color has been defined.
It uses the same color as the action bar (primary color).
I leave it to a UX designer to adapt the color scheme.
Please note that the design support library was used.
It includes the app-compat library, so this has been removed
from the `build.gradle` file.
Closes#199
