Bug description:
  If you have an app pinned to launcher and upgrade it, it will get
  "stale" in that it will still reference the old version.

  We need to make sure to store appids excluding version numbers for the
  launcher.

  The defaults should take that into account, too.

  Steps:

  1. Install a click app from the store
  2. Run the app
  3. while running, open the launcher, and long press on the icon, and choose "pin to launcher"
  4. as the developer update the application in the store
  5. back on the phone, runn sytem updates and update the app
  6. open the launche
  7. click on the launcher

  Result:
  A black screen appears and the app never runs

  Expected:
  The launcher launches the app when clicked
