support displaying basic HTML in app descriptions in App Details

Using Html.fromHtml() it would be very easy for AppDetails to render basic HTML tags for the app description text. I can see that we do not want clickable links in the app description, there could be security/privacy issues and there would just be too much clickable on that screen. Any other reasons not to?

I see Google Play does not display HTML on the website, or even make links clickable. F-Droid displays the description using Wordpress, Markdown, and Android TextView. All of those can handle HTML.

what do you all think? @pserwylo @grote @mvdan @mvp76 @NicoAlt @dschuermann
