Bug#974129: freecad: Addon manager fails to retrieve addon and macro lists

Dear Maintainer,

Freecad's Addon Manager currently fails to retrieve the list of addons
and macros. I guess this is caused by a change in the format of the HTML
pages that it parses (apparently the approach is different in 0.19).

Upstream has commited patches for this:
- addon list: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/258f9f1577e71e30f8696b266458df23042eefa5 (0.18 branch)
- macro list: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/72eb41b24f12b572d55081042160954b93f4614c (only 0.19 branch currently?)

There are two more patches after the commit for the addon list but I
didn't need them (I stayed with the simpler change that introduced the
fewer changes because I edited the .py files on my system directly).
