Quoting @adbenitez:
> I have been using the SecurejoinInviterProgress event to show a
welcome message when user scan the QR/link of the bot (== starts a chat
with the bot)
> but this have a big problem: in that event all you know is that a
contact completed the secure-join process, you don't know if it was via
certain 1:1 invite link or a group invitation, then a group-invite bot
would send you a help message in 1:1 every time you join a group with it
Since it's easy enough to add this information to the
SecurejoinInviterProgress event, I wrote a PR to do so.
this PR adds a info message "messages are end-to-end-encrypted" also for
chats created by eg. vcards. by the removal of lock icons, this is a
good place to hint for that in addition; this is also what eg. whatsapp
and others are doing
the wording itself is tweaked at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3817 (and there is
also the rough idea to make the message a little more outstanding, by
some more dedicated colors)
~~did not test in practise, if this leads to double "e2ee info messages"
on secure join, tests look good, however.~~ EDIT: did lots of practise
tests meanwhile :)
most of the changes in this PR are about test ...
ftr, in another PR, after 2.0 reeases, there could probably quite some
code cleanup wrt set-protection, protection-disabled etc.

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.

Revert the biggest part of https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6722/
in order to fix#6816. Reopens
https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/6706.
Rationale for reverting instead of fixing is that it's not trivial to
implement "if the chat is encrypted, can_send() returns true": When
sending a message, in order to check whether to encrypt, we load all
peerstates and check whether all of them can be encrypted to
(`should_encrypt()`). We could do this in `can_send()`, but this would
make it quite slow for groups. With multi-transport, the ways of
checking whether to encrypt will be different, so in order not to do
unnecessary work now, this PR just revert parts of
[https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6722/](https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6817#),
so that we can make things work nicely when multi-transport is merged.
As a quick mitigation, we could increase the timeout from 15s to
something like 1 minute or 1 day: Long enough that usually securejoin
will finish before, but short enough that it's possible to send to old
chats that had a failed securejoin long in the past.
In the `test` cfg, introduce `MimeMessage::headers_removed` hash set and `header_exists()` function
returning whether the header exists in any part of the parsed message. `get_header()` shouldn't be
used in tests for checking absense of headers because it returns `None` for removed ("ignored")
headers.
vc-request is an unencrypted message
that Bob sends when he does not have Alice's key.
It also does not contain
Bob's avatar and name,
so the contact has only the email address
at this point and it is too early
to show it.
SecureJoin and importing a vCard are the primary
ways we want to support for creating contacts.
Typing in an email address and relying on Autocrypt
results in sending the first message unencrypted
and we want to clearly separate unencrypted and encrypted
chats in the future.
To make the tests more stable, we set up test contacts
with vCards as this always immediately
results in creating a single encrypted chat
and this is not going to change.
