this known date we check if the system clock is wrong (if earlier than known date) and if the used
Delta Chat version may be outdated (1 year passed since known date). while this does not catch all
situations, it catches quite some errors with comparable few effort.

get_provider_update_timestamp() for exactly that purpose - it is checked manually by some dev and
updated from time to time, usually before a release.

update to update the known date.

a good place (i prefer manual review here and mistrust further automation as also dev or ci clocks

Gmail archives messages marked as `\Deleted` by default if those messages aren't in the Trash. But
if move them to the Trash instead, they will be auto-deleted in 30 days.
* fix missing MX resolver eg. on android
switching completely to /etc/resolv.conf (see #2780)
does not work at least on some Androids
(see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/2151 )
therefore, we use the old approach as a fallback.
* log a warning, when we again have problems with figuring out MX resolvers
This adds following settings:
- Socks5Enabled
- Socks5Host
- Socks5Port
- Socks5User
- Socks5Password
Currently http requests and dns requests are not getting executed as they currently can't get tunneled through socks5 proxy. Therefore gmail with oauth2 wont work through tor.
Using `impl AsRef<str>` as the argument instead of `&str` makes it
possible to call the function with `&str`, `String` and other types
that implement `AsRef` trait.
The cost of it is that compiled binary contains mulitple versions of
the same function, one for each variant of types. If function contains
multiple generic `impl AsRef` arguments, the number of versions possibly
compiled into binary grows exponentially with the number of arguments.
Simple way to avoid it is to call `.as_ref()` on the caller side to
convert the argument to `&str`. In most cases even adding a `&` and
relying on `Deref` coercion is sufficient.
This patch changes many functions that accepted `impl AsRef<str>` and
`impl AsRef<Path>` to accept `&str` and `&Path` instead.
In some places `.clone()` calls are removed. Calling `.clone()` on
`String` and passing `String` to a function accepting `impl
AsRef<str>` is completely unnecessary as `&str` reference could be
passed instead. There is no clippy warning against it yet, but
changing argument type to `&str` allowed to find these cases.
The result of debloating is not impressive, several hundred kilobytes
are saved, which is about 3% of the `.so` binary, but the code is
cleaner too.
