Handle mirrors in "Add repo" preview better

Thore Göbel requested to merge thgoebel/fdroidclient:add-repo-existing-mirror into master

This MR includes changes to better handle the (user) mirrors in the "Add repo" preview flow.

Changes:

  • Show the URL of the mirror being added (below the repo URL)
  • If the mirror was already added, say "mirror" instead of "repository" in the red error message
  • Add a small blurb text to explain that this is a mirror of another repo.
  • Explain (in the button and in the new info text) that the upstream repo will be added, too, when you add a mirror without already having the upstream repo. To test this case, delete the F-Droid main repo, and then add it again by adding a user mirror.

See the individual commits, which should be fairly self-explanatory.

Screenshots

The first three screenshots show the changes. The last screenshot (adding the Guardian Project repo) has no change and is just for comparison).
