This change introduces a new type of contacts
identified by their public key fingerprint
rather than an e-mail address.
Encrypted chats now stay encrypted
and unencrypted chats stay unencrypted.
For example, 1:1 chats with key-contacts
are encrypted and 1:1 chats with address-contacts
are unencrypted.
Groups that have a group ID are encrypted
and can only contain key-contacts
while groups that don't have a group ID ("adhoc groups")
are unencrypted and can only contain address-contacts.
JSON-RPC API `reset_contact_encryption` is removed.
Python API `Contact.reset_encryption` is removed.
"Group tracking plugin" in legacy Python API was removed because it
relied on parsing email addresses from system messages with regexps.

Move all `configured_*` parameters into a new SQL table `transports`.
All `configured_*` parameters are deprecated; the only exception is
`configured_addr`, which is used to store the address of the primary
transport. Currently, there can only ever be one primary transport (i.e.
the `transports` table only ever has one row); this PR is not supposed
to change DC's behavior in any meaningful way.
This is a preparation for mt.

Replacing default key
when a profile is already part of
verified groups results in
`[The message was sent with non-verified encryption. See 'Info' for more details]`
messages for other users.
It is still possible
to import the default key before
Delta Chat generates the key.
Now that we are deduplicating everywhere, we can get rid of some code.
The old python bindings did not get an optional `name` parameter because
they are deprecated anyway, but it would be easy to add it.
When receiving messages, blobs will be deduplicated with the new
function `create_and_deduplicate_from_bytes()`. For sending files, this
adds a new function `set_file_and_deduplicate()` instead of
deduplicating by default.
This is for
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/6265; read the
issue description there for more details.
TODO:
- [x] Set files as read-only
- [x] Don't do a write when the file is already identical
- [x] The first 32 chars or so of the 64-character hash are enough. I
calculated that if 10b people (i.e. all of humanity) use DC, and each of
them has 200k distinct blob files (I have 4k in my day-to-day account),
and we used 20 chars, then the expected value for the number of name
collisions would be ~0.0002 (and the probability that there is a least
one name collision is lower than that) [^1]. I added 12 more characters
to be on the super safe side, but this wouldn't be necessary and I could
also make it 20 instead of 32.
- Not 100% sure whether that's necessary at all - it would mainly be
necessary if we might hit a length limit on some file systems (the
blobdir is usually sth like
`accounts/2ff9fc096d2f46b6832b24a1ed99c0d6/dc.db-blobs` (53 chars), plus
64 chars for the filename would be 117).
- [x] "touch" the files to prevent them from being deleted
- [x] TODOs in the code
For later PRs:
- Replace `BlobObject::create(…)` with
`BlobObject::create_and_deduplicate(…)` in order to deduplicate
everytime core creates a file
- Modify JsonRPC to deduplicate blob files
- Possibly rename BlobObject.name to BlobObject.file in order to prevent
confusion (because `name` usually means "user-visible-name", not "name
of the file on disk").
[^1]: Calculated with both https://printfn.github.io/fend/ and
https://www.geogebra.org/calculator, both of which came to the same
result

Also cleaned up test_connectivity()
which tested that state does not flicker to WORKING
when there are no messages to be fetched.
The state is expected to flicker to WORKING
when checking for new messages,
so the tests were outdated since
change 3b0b2379b8
I.e. treat `DeleteServerAfter == None` as "delete at once". But when a backup is exported, set
`DeleteServerAfter` to 0 so that the server decides when to delete messages, in order not to break
the multi-device case. Even if a backup is not aimed for deploying more devices, `DeleteServerAfter`
must be set to 0, otherwise the backup is half-useful because after a restoration the user wouldn't
see new messages deleted by the device after the backup was done. But if the user explicitly set
`DeleteServerAfter`, don't change it when exporting a backup. Anyway even for non-chatmail case the
app should warn the user before a backup export if they have `DeleteServerAfter` enabled.
Also do the same after a backup import. While this isn't reliable as we can crash in between, this
is a problem only for old backups, new backups already have `DeleteServerAfter` set if necessary.

Bot processes are run asynchronously, so we shouldn't send messages to a bot before it's fully
initialised and skipped existing messages for processing, i.e. before DC_EVENT_IMAP_INBOX_IDLE is
emitted.
As trashed messages can't be loaded from the db now, `get_message_by_id()` returns None in some
tests e.g. in `test_deleted_msgs_dont_reappear()`. A `PerAccount` hook shouldn't be called if so.
There's no need to load an updated message state from the db to implement `is_outgoing()` and also
this function is implicitly called in some tests where a message is already trashed and a call to
`dc_get_msg()` generates an unexpected error.
The way it was implemented it threw out all remaining messages after finding the next incoming
message. Better use FFIEventTracker functions, they are used in all the tests anyway.
If a Delta Chat message has the Message-ID already existing in the db, but a greater "Date", it's a
resent message that can be deleted. Messages having the same "Date" mustn't be deleted because they
can be already seen messages moved back to INBOX. Also don't delete messages having lesser "Date" to
avoid deleting both messages in a multi-device setting.
The test checks that if webxdc update is too large to
download with the current `download_limit`,
it is applied afterwards when the user manually downloads the update message.
This patch adds new C APIs
dc_get_next_msgs() and dc_wait_next_msgs(),
and their JSON-RPC counterparts
get_next_msgs() and wait_next_msgs().
New configuration "last_msg_id"
tracks the last message ID processed by the bot.
get_next_msgs() returns message IDs above
the "last_msg_id".
wait_next_msgs() waits for new message notification
and calls get_next_msgs().
wait_next_msgs() can be used to build
a separate message processing loop
independent of the event loop.
Async Python API get_fresh_messages_in_arrival_order()
is deprecated in favor of get_next_messages().
Introduced Python APIs:
- Account.wait_next_incoming_message()
- Message.is_from_self()
- Message.is_from_device()
Introduced Rust APIs:
- Context.set_config_u32()
- Context.get_config_u32()
