Add flavour to metadata

Tobias Kaminsky requested to merge tobiasKaminsky/fdroidserver:metadataFlavours into master

As discussed on IRC, this is a proposal to add flavours to metadata. Fastlane supports this due to an option "metadata_path".

E.g. one app has two flavours prod/dev, then you can have now different metadata infos: /src/prod/fastlane/metadata/android/$locale /src/dev/fastlane/metadata/android/$locale

If you have only one flavor you can stick with the current scheme: /fastlane/metadata/android/$locale

With this you can have in Fdroid two different build receipts / apps with the corresponding flavour, both from one source code. This is planned for Nextcloud app: Stable is flavour "generic" and Dev version (based from master) is "versionDev". Then the metadata for generic/stable and dev version can be different, but still are both within the same repository/branch.

What do you think?
