  OOM score for apps waiting on content hub should be adjusted

Bug description:
  I happens that the app gets killed by OOM while it is being put into
  background importing something from the content hub. I think apps
  waiting on something from the content hub should have a better OOM
  score to make it less likely. Even if the app is restarted
  automatically after picking content from the hub, the transfer will
  fail because it lost the pointer to the transfer object.

  On bq, if apps have some data in it, this becomes really a problem.
  For example it's close to impossible to add a new contact to telegram
  if there are many apps openened, because Telegram seems to have a
  higher OOM score than most other things, and it gets killed while the
  user picks some contact from the address book. The user has to
  manually close all other apps, sometimes even reboot before being able
  to do that again.
