In many cases, there are times where metadata errors need to be ignored, or
at least not stop the command from running. For example, there will
inevitably be new metadata fields added, in which case a packaged version
of fdroidserver will throw errors on each one. This adds a standard -W
flag to customize the response: ignore, default, or error.
* by default, the errors are still errors
* `fdroid readmeta -W` will just print errors
* `fdroid readmeta -Wignore` will not even print errors

following guidelines from:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#upgrading-optparse-code
except, still using option = parse.parse_args() instead of args = ...
- using the following script in folder fdroidserver:
for i in *.py; do
sed -i -e 's/optparse/argparse/' \
-e 's/OptionParser/ArgumentParser/' \
-e 's/OptionError/ArgumentError/' \
-e 's/add_option/add_argument/' \
-e 's/(options, args) = parser/options = parser/' \
-e 's/options, args = parser/options = parser/' \
-e 's/Usage: %prog/%(prog)s/' $i;
done
- use ArgumentParser argument to replace (option, args) = parser.parse()
call
- use parser.error(msg) instead of raise ArgumentException as suggested
in https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#exiting-methods
- in fdroid catch ArgumentError instead of OptionError
