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.

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.
As discussed in #5467 we want to use `i.delta.chat` in QR codes in favor
of `OPENPGP4FPR:` scheme. This PR does the replacement in
`get_securejoin_qr` which is used in `get_securejoin_qr_svg`.

Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.
* allow deleting referenced contacts in UI
we are quite often getting requests of users
who want to get rid of some contact in the "new chat" list.
there is already a "delete" option,
but it does not work for referenced contacts -
however, it is not obvious for users that a contact is in use,
esp. of some mailing list or larger chat, old contacts, whatever.
this pr revives an old idea [^1] of "soft deleting" referenced contacts -
this way, the user can remove the annoying entry
without the need to understand complicated things
and finally saying that deletion is impossible :)
once the contact is reused, it will reappear,
however, this is already explained in the confirmation dialog of the UIs.
technically, this pr was simpler as expected as we already have
a Origin::Hidden, that is just reused here.

* update rust doccomment
* update changelog
* avoid races on contact deletion
chats may be created between checking for "no chats" and contact deletion.
this is prevented by putting the statement into an EXCLUSIVE transaction.
* fix failing python test
