Which country to use when searching for apps? #5

The country is a required parameter for both parse-play's and parse-tunes' searchApps() functions.

However, in our mockup (https://github.com/tweaselORG/meta/issues/45), we decided to only ask for the user's country much later in the process.

Currently, I've hardcoded Germany: https://github.com/tweaselORG/platform/pull/3/commits/b4714eea234a11896ebc5edf2d090f0dfe7624ef#diff-0c532395ce58d62038d6f1a1ab0bced7f7b29d60fb66b6c1559cb422c671c262R16

But maybe that's not such a bad thing. After all, we'll need to download the apps anyway. And if they are geolocked to different countries than the account we use, that won't work anyway.
