bring back upstream code for release APK check

Upstream code checks whether the current APK was signed with the release
key for various reasons:
- in order to show/hide the "Updates" settings menu
- in order to make the "Updates" settings menu searchable or not
- in order to check/not check for updates at the application start

This behavior was removed in NewPipe SponsorBlock fork, but it probably
shouldn't have been:

- the newer APK installation won't work if the locally installed APK
  wasn't signed with the same key
- `isReleaseApk` function was still invoked in NewPipe SponsorBlock to
  allow searching "Updates" settings from settings menu. But as the
  fingerprint wasn't correct (see 25575ea8b2), the update settings
  would not be searchable which is a bug
- this is a requirement for F-Droid inclusion as they sign their APKs
  with their own keys (so the updater wouldn't work) and they explicitly
  forbid auto-updaters by policy (see also
  https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/issues/8)
