this PR adds the type DC_QR_SOCKS5_PROXY to `dc_check_qr()` for
**supporting telegram proxy QR codes**. if returned, the UI should ask
the user if they want to us the proxy and call
`dc_set_config_from_qr();` afterwards (plus maybe `dc_configure()`).
idea is to improve our proxy story, follow ups may be:
- in UI, - move proxy out of "Account & Password", as a **separate
"Proxy Activity"** (it should stay in "Advanced" for now, however, below
"Server", which might be moved up)
- allow **opening the "Proxy Activity" from the welcome screens**
three-dot-menu (that would also solve a long standing issue that
entering the email address bypasses the proxy
- show proxy usage in the "Connectivity View" and/or add an **icon** to
the main chatlist screen (beside three-dot menu) in case some proxy is
in use; tapping this icon will open the "Proxy Activity"
- the the new "Proxy Activity", add a **share / show proxy QR code**
button. that would generate invite links in the form
`https://i.delta.chat/socks#...` - so that tapping then opens the app.
support for these links need to be added to core then.
- handle a list of proxies in core, offer selection in UI. the list
could be one for all profiles and could be filled eg. by normal invite
links or other channels

New protocol streams .tar into iroh-net
stream without traversing all the files first.
Reception over old backup protocol
is still supported to allow
transferring backups from old devices
to new ones, but not vice versa.
This adds functionality to send and receive a backup over the network
using a QR code.
The sender or provider prepares the backup, sets up a server that
waits for clients. It provides a ticket in the form of a QR code
which contains connection and authentication information.
The receiver uses the QR code to connect to the provider and fetches
backup, restoring it locally.
This makes the contact ID its own newtype instead of being a plain
u32. The change purposefully does not yet try and reap any benefits
from this yet, instead aiming for a boring change that's easy to
review. Only exception is the ToSql/FromSql as not doing that yet
would also have created churn in the database code and it is easier to
go straight for the right solution here.
